10 Minutes of Truth – Pirate Ships

Yesterday I awoke to find an exciting announcement that I had been appointed Host and Spokesman for the website All Together As A Whole (ATAAW), the Independent Joomla Developers and Site Builders Network with over 700 members. This was great news, and something I look forward to participating in.

This small network of Joomla professionals has grown seemingly overnight with the guidance of Amy Stephen, the original creator of the group. In just 6 short months it's been the launchpad for the Joomla Community Magazine resurrection, gave organizers of the J and Beyond International Conference a staging area for early planning and offers folks a place to hang out where freedom rings and words just flow uninhibited.

It just works and does well at bringing people together. Something the Joomla Community sorely needed.

I spent a few minutes reading all the well wishes and kudos to Amy for all she's done for us before returning to check my morning mail.
