Joomla event season is starting again and we are firing up our engines. We already blogged about J! And Beyond, but there’s more:
First up is the Joomladay France in Bordeaux, on March 21st, 2010. That’s this weekend, so if you haven’t booked yet, do it fast. It will be our first French Joomladay and we are excited about meeting old friends in real life, and making new ones.
We are not speaking at this event but are happy to answer any burning questions you might have regarding DOCman, Nooku, or Joomla. Come and find us at the event and say hi!
If you need an excuse to visit the beautiful island of Mallorca, we’ve got some good news. We’ve been confirmed for two presentations on the Joomladay in Palma De Mallorca: On April 9th, we’re presenting Nooku Framework, and on April 10th we’ll be talking about what’s going on in the world of DOCman.
We’ve never missed a Dutch Joomladay, and we always love going back. As usual it’s a two day event, April 23 & 24. This year’s theme is “Extraordinary: Beauty, Empowerment and Great Extensions”. From what we heard, the organizers are hand-picking the sessions, to make sure each presentation is top quality. We will post more information about our talks when the official schedule is announced. In the meantime, we can already guarantee some very cool stuff is going to happen in Utrecht!
Unfortunately, the Swedish and Danish Joomladays are on the same dates as the Dutch Joomladays, so we can’t attend. The good news is that Stian Didriksen, Ninjaboard Lead Developer and Nooku Framework early adopter will be speaking. The presentation is about his great new forum extension, but I’m sure he’d be happy to answer any Nooku questions you may have.
Most of you have jobs that involve sitting at a desk all day and talking to people you never meet. Get up and visit at least one event this year. You’ll find that being able to discuss your hobby/job/passion with fellow aficionados in real life can be very inspiring!
This week we released DOCman 1.5.5. A couple of regressions were discovered after the releases of 1.5.3 and 1.5.4, which mostly affected IIS users (and local Windows installations). That’s why we we decided to get the fixes out so soon. This should allow us to get back to our regular release schedule of +- 4 weeks. As usual, if you’ve bought DOCman 1.5, you will get the latest update by mail.
We’ve also received some new translations: Catalan, Polish, Estonian and Croatian. The Swedish translation was updated as well. Head over to the download section to find a list of all available translations (32 already!) for DOCman 1.5. Thanks a lot to everyone who contributed, we really appreciate it!
Over the past 3 years Joomlatools has gone from strength to strength. Founded by Joomla Co-founder Johan Janssens and DOCman Lead Developer Mathias Verraes we soon grew with the addition of two more Joomla Co-Founders Peter Russell and Shayne Bartlett.
We now find ourselves expanding yet again, so it is with great pleasure that we announce two fantastic additions to the Joomlatools team.
Tom Janssens (yes… he’s Johan’s little brother) joins us as a Webmaster/Designer. Tom holds a Bachelors Degree in Information and Communications Technology. Tom is one of those talented people that can both code and design. For more on Tom visit his bio
Krisstoffer is already well known to DOCman users with his volunteer work in the DOCman forums over the past few years. With DOCman’s move to commercial GPL, Kriss has come on the team to continue this role with the position of Support Engineer. For more on Kriss visit his full bio
Finally we would like to thank our users and partners for their continued support, without it we would not be growing. We are committing ourselves to you and ensuring you receive the best solutions and support possible.
