Vancouver Joomla!Day provides case study in community-building techniques
,----[ Quote ]
| As free software projects balloon in size, many struggle to create and
| maintain a sense of community. One of the projects that has been most
| successful in its community-building efforts is the content management system
| Joomla! In the last couple of years, its Joomla!Days have been held around
| the world. A particular case in point is this past weekend's Vancouver
| Joomla!Day, whose organization and use of social networking to expand the
| scope of the event make it a case study in modern community-building.

Open Source Joomla Emerges as a Top CMS Tool
,----[ Quote ]
| The Joomla website proclaims that, "Joomla is one of the most powerful open
| source content management systems on the planet." Sure, they're biased about
| their collaborative open source creation. But there's no arguing that Joomla
| is quickly becoming one of the top content management system (CMS) platforms
| on the Internet. Late last year Joomla won the best PHP Open Source Web CMS
| award.

Ladies and Gentlemen... [Joomla! 1.5]
,----[ Quote ]
| It is with great pride that the Joomla! community announces to the world the
| immediate availability of Joomla! 1.5 Stable [Khepri]. As a community of
| contributors, we have been through celebrations and tribulations. We have had
| fun, and we have worked hard. We have learned from and helped one another.
| What started two and a half years ago with a letter to the community has
| grown into a great opportunity for both the Joomla! project and community to
| benefit from these efforts and to consider our future.

Joomla! - the licence stays the same
,----[ Quote ]
| Christopher Justice says: "...we haven't changed the license and we
| have no plans to. We have raised the visibility of the GPL and we're
| encouraging a better understanding of the GPL. It is our view that
| extensions are derivative works and therefore we encourage all
| extensions to be GPL compliant. The Joomla! community has grown to
| over 110,000 members with the same license and a huge community of
| commercial and non-commercial developers. There are some non-GPL
| compliant extensions but the majority of the extensions available
| are GPL. As the project continues to grow, we'll focus more on GPL
| extensions to build a stronger and more open project and community."
