Comments for JoomlaShack Developer Club at http://www.howtojoomla.net , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.howtojoomla.net Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:36:52 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/79/29/#comment-632 Hi Mike, I must admit confusion at your comment. I do not understand under what scenario you think we should give away our entire company away for free, all our templates and unrestricted licensing.... Can you point me to another business, Joomla or otherwise that does this? Please feel free to email me directly at barrie[at]joomlashack.com - Barrie North Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:09:48 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/79/29/#comment-622 Hi Mike, You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I have to respectfully disagree with your opinion. There are professional web developers all over the world who make their living providing services using Joomla. JoomlaShack's Developer Club is aimed at them, not at the general public. This is a great value for professional developers, in my opinion. Also, just because Joomla is open source and "free", that does not mean that companies cannot develop a business model around Joomla. In fact, a member of the core team runs RocketTheme, which offers a similar package to the one JoomlaShack is offering. JoomlaShack does offer [url=http://www.joomlashack.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=42&Itemid=16]loads of free material[/url] for the general public. In fact, they are one of the most freely-giving companies you will find in the Joomla community. Also, just to clarify, I am not an employee of JoomlaShack. I am a freelance developer, and I provide custom services for JoomlaShack's clients. In the time that I have worked with them, I have gained a very high opinion of them and their ethical standards. Yes, they are trying to make money, but every company is trying to make money. It's what keeps them going and helps feed the families of the owners and employees of the company. Thanks for stopping by. Cory - Cory Sat, 08 Dec 2007 10:47:36 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/79/29/#comment-621 Nice way of grabbing money from public. Sounds like big pitch for money. Lots of bull. >:( If you really want to help public then do it as a free service. - Mike Gordo Sat, 08 Dec 2007 08:30:01 +0100
