HowToJoomla! Blog: Community

Far and wide across this great nation, Joomla! users have been waiting. Waiting for their voice to be heard. Waiting for their vote to count. On October 16th at the footsteps of Washington DC, the wait will be over. We will finally be hearing from the President himself... Mr. Ryan Ozimek, President of Open Source Matters!

For many months now, NoVA Joomla has quietly lobbied from inside the Beltway to build a collation of representatives from across the nation. Delegates are traveling from the District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, Nebraska, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas; we're even expecting visitors from England and Greece! Will you be represented? Only if you attend! Come with us and wave the Red, Green, and Blue! (and orangey-yellow too!)

Our congress will be discussing and deliberating over many important Joomla! topics:

• Website Strategy
• Template Development
• CCK Components
• CRM Tools (to help you keep in touch with your constituents)
• Social Networking Tools (start a campaign!)
• Security (good enough for the military, and good enough for your site)
• Extension Development
• ...and many, many more!

Not everyone is the recipient of a pork-barrel project. In light of this, Joomla! Day DC is being offered at $49.95 for a limited time: a price that should keep everyone's budget balanced. This special offer is made  possible by a public-private partnership involving our generous sponsors.

This monumental event will reinforce your rights and responsibilities as a citizen of the Joomla! community. Do your civic duty by making plans to join us this fall. Declare your independence from proprietary software by registering today! Don't make a Federal case out of it: sign up for Joomla! Day DC 2010 before the early bird rate expires on August 31st.
