JoomStew Radio – Joomla 1.6 Release Party Show

JoomStew Radio has been on a break through the Holidays, but this week we're back with a bang with one of our best shows yet.

Joomla 1.6.0 was released on Monday, January 10, 2011 and we were there to celebrate late into the night with a bunch of folks.

Today, to celebrate the delivery of Joomla 1.6.0,  JoomStew Radio welcomes Joomla Lead Developer Andrew Eddie, and Ryan Ozimek, President of Open Source Matters (OSM) to discuss the release, the project and what's next for Joomla and OSM.
