Joomla

During the Joomla!Day West event that took place at the beginning of October the Community and Production leadership teams were able to get together for several days of discussions, planning and team building.

I've been keeping an eye and ear out for some sort of reports from these events on joomla.org but haven't seen anything yet.

Suffering from JCD (more about that in a later blog post) I've managed to gather some information from the event to share here.

I've just returned from travelling to the USA where I attended a meeting of the Milwaukee JUG and Joomla!Day DC where I had the opportunity to meet many friends, old and new, some of whom I've previously only met online.

One of the great things about meeting in person is to share stories and adventures, consider new ideas and of course get to know the real person behind the avatar or nickname.

Over the next few days I'll be writing several blog posts as a direct consequence of the trip but before I do that I wanted to share a small story about my adventures travelling to the USA this trip.

Perhaps the greatest things that has happened to me by being part of this amazing Joomla! community is that I have met so many people from all over the world.

Of course I'm not alone in that and probably every one of you reading this blog will have made new friends as a result of your involvement in Joomla!

But making online friends is only the start of it.
