Chicago Jday

Brad, We were reminded in a rather official manner (though cordial), by both Alex and Louis that the term JoomlaDay is, in fact, proprietary to the Core Team/Open Source Matters. So, just whipping a "JoomlaJour" together, while it seems on the surface to be laissez-faire, isn't as simple f...

Re: Dutch Joomla! days april 4/5 2008

Looks like a winner.

I've heard great things about past events there as well. Bridge-building is a skill which all members of the Joomla! community could use a brush-up on, if we're to make substantive progress.

Joomla! is an open source community. Project management should be no more proprietary than the source code. I understand the Core Team's desire for control, but when folks like me come to the CT for speakers, as well as promotion on this forum (which all will naturally do), you'll have the chokepoin...
