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

JoomlaDayDC Get the Early Bird and Save by August 31, 2010
Far and wide across this great nation, Joomla! users have been waiting. Waiting for their voice to be heard. Waiting for their vote to count. On October 16th at the footsteps of Washington DC, the wait will be over. We will finally be hearing from the President himself... Mr. Ryan Ozimek, President of Open Source Matters!
For many months now, NoVA Joomla has quietly lobbied from inside the Beltway to build a collation of representatives from across the nation. Delegates are traveling from the District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, Nebraska, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas; we're even expecting visitors from England and Greece! Will you be represented? Only if you attend! Come with us and wave the Red, Green, and Blue! (and orangey-yellow too!)

More Than One Way to Skin a Template
Joomla! is widely recognized as a CMS solution with templates in plentiful supply: template clubs, free templates, template frameworks, tools and generators*. The last two JoomStew shows have focused on what is under the hood of some commercial templates, and how to make templates usable. In our upcoming August 11 podcast, JoomStew Radio talks with freelancers Joe Sonne (JoeJoomla) , Dianne Henning, and Brian Sullivan, about how they approach adding a template to a new site. Do they custom build their own, or use a commercial template either out of the box or tweaked?
Homemade or instant?
JoomStew Radio – August 4, 2010 – Design Trends
This week's JoomStew Radio is the first broadcast that was pre-recorded due to the time differences of our guests. We thought it was the perfect opportunity to move the show away from Blog Talk Radio and keep the show hosted right here on the JoomStew Blog so you don't have to go anywhere else!
What sparked the idea for this week's topic on Design Trends was an article that Anthony Olsen published in the July issue of the Joomla Community Magazine entitled Joomla Template Design Trends in 2010.
Our Guests:
Anthony Olsen of Joomla Bamboo
Jon Lackey of Zuno Studios
Matt Lipscomb of USA Freelancers
