2003 Mambo Mascot: The Koala?

Written by Cory
Tuesday, 09 January 2007
I started using Mambo toward the end of 2003. Today, just out of curiosity, I thought I would use the Wayback Machine to check out some archived versions of the Mambo website from the early days. I clicked on the the link to the archive from January 24, 2003, and I found something very interesting. Apparently, the community voted to make the koala the Mambo mascot. Scroll down to the article titled "And the winner is ..." on the archived site to see for yourself. By the time I joined the community later that year, the koala was already a distant memory. Go figure. Set as favorite Bookmark Email This Hits: 3349 Trackback(0) TrackBack URI for this entry Comments (5) Subscribe to this comment's feed Amy Stephen: ... http://AmyStephen.us Cool!

About HowToJoomla

HowToJoomla was started in September 2006 by me, Cory Webb, a long-time Mambo/Joomla user with a desire to give back to the community that has given so much to him.

HowToJoomla is not the best, most comprehensive Joomla tips site out there. That's not the goal. The goal is to share some of the knowledge and experience that I have gained through years of using the world's best content managment system. I hope that you will find this site useful and visit often. As I come across new tips and ideas, I will post them here for all to see.

I hope you enjoy using HowToJoomla and find it very useful.

Please take some time to read the Disclaimer.

Thanks for visiting!

About Me

I am a 28-year-old husband and father of a beautiful baby girl named Lucy. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, an MBA from Baylor University, and over 4 years experience working with the Mambo/Joomla CMS.

On February 1, 2008, I started a web design, development, and consulting company specializing in designing and developing custom Joomla-powered websites. The new company is aptly named Cory Webb Media, LLC. The double meaning is purely unintentional, but with a last name like "Webb" it is difficult to escape the obvious puns. If you are looking for professional assistance with your website, please feel free to contact me to discuss your project.

I also run HowToJoomla, CoryWebb.com (my personal website/blog), and JoomlaForm.com (a site dedicated to promoting good design in the Joomla! community). In my spare time (if there is such a thing), I volunteer with the youth ministry at my church.
