When porting sites from Joomla 1.0 to Joomla 1.5, there were some fairly major code changes that had to be made to make templates functional. The change from Joomla 1.5 to 1.6 is less drastic, but there are still a few notable differences. I received a review copy of Joomla! 1.5 Multimedia from Packt Publishers and was expecting to read a lot that I already know about Images and the wygląd manager in Joomla!. But instead it was an eye-opener about the possibilities that Joomla! and some special extensions gives you to create a complete multimedia experience for your visitors. This [...]

From May 6 - 8 in Kerkrade, The Netherlands, 220 Joomla! community members gathered at the unforgettable JandBeyond conference. Among them were 10 members of the Board of Open Source Matters (OSM). We came as community members to connect, network, and meet again or for the first time many of the people who make the Joomla! Open Source project such an exciting place to be.

The large turnout of OSM members allowed us to share experiences and goals as a group with the attendees, and to talk as a group about impressions and lessons learned from this event. I think everyone will agree that JandBeyond was an invaluable experience in every way!

A high point for all of us was standing together during Ryan's well-attended "State of OSM" session. After he presented achievements from the past year, various members shared OSM goals for 2011.

The goals included increased revenue sources, a new online shop, trademark ekipa streamlining and improvements, upcoming conferences, a Joomla! Supporters club, PR and awareness initiatives, and the simplification and documentation of processes. The presentation was followed by questions from the community about revenue spending and leadership dynamics.

The following is a summary of the question and answer time:

Community: What is the purpose of raising money? What are the plans for that money?

OSM: We want a cushion so that when good ideas come up we will be able to respond in a timely manner. We want to be able to enact good ideas coming out of the community.

Community: Some ideas for the spending of increased revenue:

A Summer of Code funded by Joomla
Getting all of OSM, CLT, and PLT together in one place for the world community to talk about the goals of Joomla
Pay a consulting firm to do an analysis for security and performance
Give a portion of surplus to charity. (OSM: We donated money to SFLC this year)
Do a targeted prize contest with specific requirements with a cash prize to the winner

Community: Would you consider contracting paid development work again?

OSM: We would not do it the way it was done before. If we do consider it again, it would be only for a very specific task.

Community: Congratulations on your structure and leadership but who is going to influence the other parts of the leadership?

OSM: We can use leadership by example. There are processes being put into place that give opportunities to understand, influence and encourage. There will also be a joint summit in July.

Community: There is a perception that OSM can give active guidance.

OSM: It’s not OSM’s role to be the teacher and the others to be students. We can only lead by example. The theme of the koniec tygodnia is community. The community has to come together and work together.

Community: The community feels excluded.

OSM: The leadership is working on getting better communications and clearer channels.

Community: OSM went through organizational training but what about the other teams? Did they get anything from that? It should be that if you are going to be a part of the leadership then you should have professional development.

OSM: OSM was fortunate to be offered a training opportunity. Gunner will be working with leadership skills at the summits.

Community: The way the groups are growing is positive because it spreads out the work and reduces the perception of cronyism. It would be good to see that happening with the CoC.

A common theme that we all came away with was appreciating the chance to interact with so many community members and to listen and be heard.

It was a privilege also to have Louis Landry attend from the Production Leadership ekipa (PLT). He made himself available to talk at length with many attendees. There was much positive feedback about interaction between the community and the leadership throughout the weekend.

An energizing spirit of innovation, passion, communication and respect characterized this event.

 So we're now about one week into the stable cycle for Joomla! 1.6 and it seems that the biggest question that is on people's minds is upgrading/migration. There is a great deal of interest from people who want to keep their existing sites, but who also want to try out the latest and greatest features that Joomla! 1.6 has to offer.

When the Production Leadership Team met in San Francisco last September, the release of Joomla! 1.6 was one of the big topics we had to grapple with.  We had made good progress already, but there was still a good amount of work to be done.

Given the situation we found ourselves in, together with the fact that there was already a community member (Matias Aguirre) who was working on a migration tool, we decided that it was better to support the effort already in progress than to spend time duplicating what was already in progress.

So, the bottom line is this:

• Migration to Joomla! 1.6 - We recommend people interested in migrating to use Matias Aguirre's jUpgrade extension.  Testing and feedback from the community will play an important role in perfecting this extension.
• Migration to the July 2011 release - We are planning to implement a site importer in this release that will allow you to przywóz towarów your data from either Joomla! 1.5 or Joomla! 1.6.
• As per the Development Strategy, we intend to manage change much more carefully moving forward. This, combined with our shortened release cycle means that upgrades and migrations will go a lot smoother. 
• Joomla! 1.5 is a Long Term Support (LTS) release. This means that it will be supported for approximately 15 more months. That makes the estimated date for End of Life of Joomla! 1.5 to be April 11, 2012.
• The next LTS release will take place in January of 2012.

Joomla! 1.6 not only marks the introduction of major features that people have been waiting for (granular access control, unlimited category depth), but also the shift to a new development strategy that will enable us to release continual updates on a regular basis while making the upgrade process as painless as possible.

In my previous post I mentioned the fact that the Read More option of Joomla was not editable anymore. Before that I wrote about how-to-solve-the-joomla-read-more-problem in version 1.0.x But I found an item in RC3 in the Advanced Parameters of the article section that makes in possible to do an “Click here to read text per article.. It is [...]

You probably didn't notice, but recently we have republished the "Support Joomla!" page. We also have a new "Support Joomla!" module for anyone to use. This is exciting because for the past several years we have not been able to ask the Joomla! Community for financial support. What happened?

As I mentioned back in February, at the advice of our attorneys, and with a lot of reflection, the board of Open Source Matters (OSM)  had been exploring the possibility of "correcting" its corporate charter. Those corrections have now been made, and this post will explain what that means. The specific changes could not be discussed previously because they were legal advice, but now we can do so. There are complicated legal and financial reasons for making these changes which I am going to try to explain in this post.   It will be a little heavy going, so before I start let me stress the two main points:

• OSM will always remain a not for plon organization.
• This change will allow OSM to ask for money for support of the Joomla! Project.

  
  

  
  
  
  
  This new project will bring some blogposts that will suite as a Case Study for building a Search Engine Optimized website with Joomla 1.5.x or any other CMS as well...

  Last year at the Joint Leadership Summit (JLS) (in San Jose, California from July 29-31, 2011) we've discussed about our project’s leadership structure (see this blog post: Proposed Leadership structure changes & request for community feedback).

  A proposal for a new Joomla project structure was made by Alan Langford, Javier Gomez, Jeremy Wilken, Peter Martin and Christine Graf and is available at Google Docs.

  An Infographic of this proposed project structure was made by Themepartner.

  With the release of Joomla 1.6 RC1, one of the first areas of this new version of Joomla to catch the attention of the community is the ACL portion of the site. ACL stands for Access Control Levels. Many people think of ACL as "who can see what" on the website. For example, when I log into the website, I can see articles A, B, and C. But when you log into the website, you see articles A, C, D, and F. That is definitely a part of ACL, but it's only a small part of the whole picture. ACL also controls who can create, edit, delete, publish, or configure what, and who is the zarządca for the website. Adding this level of ACL creates significant complexity for your Joomla website.

  The Community Leadership Team has created a relief platforma for the backlog of Joomla User Group (JUG) submissions and correspondence. We would like your help to make this work though.

  As of right now, if you are on the waiting list of people who have not heard back about a JUG submission, We have a new form that we ask you to fill out at your earliest convenience.

  Resubmit your application using  JUG Submission Form

  We know you are tired of forms!  So are we.  For now though this is only a okazja gap solution while we work on something more permanent and efficient for all.  We feel this new form can be processed on our end much faster than the current system.

  We would appreciate any feedback you have to offer in the JUGs People.Joomla group.

  Thank you for your patience! Joomla User Groups make up a valuable component of our community. We appreciate your continued efforts and we look forward to working with you as we resolve this issue as quickly and effectively as possible.
