Hidden Joomla 1.7 Secrets - Live in your living room

Written by Brian Teeman

Over 28,000 people have now seen the slides of the presentation but sadly only about five hundred have seen the presentation live in it's full glory.  Those of you who have seen one of my presentations before will know that the slides are only a small part of the presentation.

The organisers of the Sydney Joomla!Day have invited me to give this presentation but as Australia is just one trip too many this year I will be giving it via the magic of the internet.

Written by Gary Brooks

Thanks to the platinum sponsor Seblod, creator of a new CCK for Joomla!, we were able to host a dinner party on Friday night for 50 of our sponsors, speakers, volunteers, and international guests. The wonderful staff at House of Brews made our event quite memorable.

Simon Says Get K2 Important News

Written by Simon Wells

If you are reading this, then you may have noticed that Joomlaworks has recently launched a new Joomla based K2 website in a move away from the previous Ning based site. To help in streamlining support and documentation, we are consolidating websites and data, so that the K2 documents that appeared on Simon Says Get K2 www.simon.getk2.org will appear on the main k2 site.  As a result Simon Says site will be closed from the 1st December 2011, as it will become redundant but a redirect will be put in place to an archive of this data on K2Joom.com.
