JoomStew Radio – September 1, 2010 – Happy 5th Birthday Joomla!

Joomla 5th Birthday Bash Special Guests

Brian Teeman and Andrew Eddie

What better way to celebrate Joomla's 5th birthday than with two original founding members of the Joomla! project: Andrew Eddie, know as ‘Mr Joomla’ around the forums and Brian Teeman, who is considered by many to be the ‘Voice of Joomla’. They join us to share memories of the history and their involvement in the project, as well as their vision for the future. The podcast is a fitting and enlightening tribute to Joomla! on its 5th anniversary. Happy Birthday Joomla!
