Joomla events

Joomla! Day returns to Finland! The conference will run Saturday November 5th at Helsinki's popular social meeting spot Hub Helsinki.

The event will be an unmatched networking and learning opportunity for the Finnish Joomla! community. Speakers will be attending internationally to discuss the latest developments in Joomla, featuring among others a keynote from Ryan W. Ozimek, President of Open Source Matters, and a presentation by Matias Griese, Lead Developer of the wildly popular Kunena extension.

Just like last year, I met a lot of interesting people at J and Beyond. And just like last year, I decided to create a video with some testimonials from the event.

This video shows a some impressions from the second J and Beyond conference, that took place in Kerkrade, The Netherlands form May 6th to May 8th 2011.

In this video, some of the participants share what J and Beyond 2011 means to them. There's also some pictures and some footage from the Rolduc venue where the conference happened. Perhaps the video will give you some comfort when you start missing J and Beyond too much - or inspire you to go there next year.

On Saturday May 7th, the attendees of J and Beyond 2011 all gathered in the auditorium of Rolduc Conference centre.

The reason was to witness the awards ceremony for this year's J.O.S.C.A.R.S - the Joomla Open Source Creative Artistic Recognition Awards.

The ceremony was led by Sir Brian Teeman (dressed as a knight) and Victor Drover. They were assisted by members of the crowd to present the awards to each winner.

If you're like me, you're not sure about which talks to attend at J and Beyond 2011.

Going through all the details pages at jandbeyond.org one by one is a daunting task, and I figured there had to be a better way. Thus, I asked my friends over at GetFriday to compile all of the descriptions into an easy-to-digest document.

And so they did. The result is a document describing every talk at J and Beyond 2011, complete with a table of contents.

It's useful to me, and if you would like it as well, download it here:
