Joomla Blog Posts from Around the Web (week 39)

joomla-week-39Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 39.

There's a really nice post about Joomla 1.6 caching and Brian Teeman talks about meetups at Joomla!Days and about the spending of Open Source Matters funds.

Have a great week!
