JoomStew Radio – Celebrating Joomla! 1.6 Around the World!

This week JoomStew does some globe-trotting to find out how Joomla User Groups (JUGs) have been celebrating the launch of Joomla 1.6. The result is a fun window into our world-wide communities - it's a show you won't want to miss! But first up, check out our big announcement in the news below!

JoomStew Announces Matias and Beyond 2011

Matias Aguirre has contributed quite a lot of time developing the jUpgrade migration component that will take you from 1.5 to 1.6. We here at JoomStew are putting out a call to the Joomla! Community to encourage you to give something back. You can make a contribution to send Matias to JandBeyond 2011 in May.

We have set up a Chip-in widget to raise $2500 by March 1, 2011. This money goes directly to Matias’ paypal account in order for him to arrange his travel and lodging. He will not be able to attend this event without our help and we feel that he is giving so much to the Joomla! community and we should all give a little something back!
