Why should you join the Joomla World Conference? How did Angie Radtke experience her short term on the Board as the Secretary of Open Source Matters? What opportunities does Joomla offer for young developers looking to contribute to Open Source and...
Joomla is calling for a new President of Open Source Matters and it’s not just about having a title. It’s about empowering the community, lifting others up, and helping Joomla move forward together.

When most people think of Joomla, they think of a traditional content management system that handles everything: storing content, managing users, rendering templates, positioning modules, and outputting complete HTML pages. For the vast majority of websites, that integrated approach makes perfect sense.
Note: this article is work in progress. Please contact me for any feedback/suggestion or if you know of any other interesting resource about this topic!

It is not the first time we write about how to make the Joomla backend a nice place to work — for yourself and for your customers. In this article we collect and refresh practical tips and tricks, ordered from the simplest tweaks to the more complex backend menu changes.
In the first part of this article I wrote about the planning around the conference website. I described the content types and the functionality we want to have. Now I will show you what happens after a speaker submits a talk.

Behind this phrase lies not yet another article on how to create and restore a backup – not that the subject isn’t interesting, but it’s been covered so thoroughly in the Joomla community.

Serving on any board can be quite rewarding and is often a thankless job that requires much time and probably never more so than in an all-volunteer organization like Joomla.
