Joomla Developer Showdown - Save the Date

Written by Brian Teeman
save the date

WOW - I'm really impressed with the feedback received on the blog, twitter, skype and via e-mail to my little idea.

I can now confirm that the "Joomla Developers Showdown" will begin at 09:00 GMT on 2 July and last 96 hours (4 days.)

I will publish here on the blog the full specifications for the Joomla component that you, and your team, will need to produce. There are no pre-entry requirements or notification required. Just download the specification and get coding.

I have already decided on the scope of the component that you will need to create and it has deliberately been chosen as I do not believe an extension currently exists that satisfies the requirements.

It is also an extension that I have been asked for on a fairly regular basis so by the end of the Showdown we, the Joomla community, should have several extensions to chose from on our own sites.

About Brian Teeman

  • As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.

    Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesnt like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.

    But it seems that no blog exists without an "About" page so rather than talk about what an amazingly great guy I am and list all the things I've achieved (and failed at) in life from my Cycling Proficiency Test in 1976 to winning an award for the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" in 2005 here are some links.
