Last weekend, Google
hosted the first Joomla!Day to be held in the
United States. Nearly 100 Joomla!
developers and users came together in true unconference style, as participants led small group
discussions based on attendee feedback prior to and the beginning day of the conference.
Topics ranged from migrating a website from the CMS' 1.0 to 1.5 release to effective template
creation. On Sunday afternoon, we had a lot of fun with our speed-geeking
session, where attendees shared knowledge with one another about anything and everything, like
using Joomla! to power non-profit websites to ergonomics to keep you coding for life. We ended
the day Sunday with a group photo and plans in the works to start a Bay Area based Joomla!
Users Group.
For those who weren't able to make it to Joomla!Day USA
West, we've heard you can expect news about other Joomla!Days coming sometime later this year
in Austin, Texas and New York, New York.
Many thanks to all of our
guests for joining us, sharing their collective knowledge and making the weekend a useful and
inspiring experience!
