DOCman 2.0 Preview in Joomladay Germany
Big news for DOCman fans! Joomlatools will be part of the Joomladay Deutschland celebration in Hamburg, Germany this weekend (Fri 2th & Sat 3th) September.
Our own Tom Janssens will be at Joomladay Deutschland to demo the latest developments in DOCman. This is one of two sneak previews of DOCman 2.0 happening on the same weekend but in entirely two different continents. Johan Janssens will be at Joomladay Brazil to also delight the Brazilian DOCman fans.
Joomlatools certainly knows no boundaries. Whether in Germany or Brazil, we are out to deliver the best download and document management solution for Joomla.
Don’t hesitate, only a few tickets left for the Community day! Sign up and catch Tom for a personal DOCman 2.0 demo.
Joomlatools is Bound for Brazil!
We are bringing the magic of DOCman to the city of Florianopolis, Brazil on September 2-4. Our very own Johan Janssens will be one of the four international speakers recognized as the most important members of Joomla in their areas who will be part of the Joomladay festivities that only Brazil can truly offer!
Johan will be doing a keynote about the future of Joomla and lead a workshop on document management in Joomla with DOCman. Two talks not to miss!
1. The future of Joomla – Collaborative innovation
There is no doubt, in 6 years time Joomla has grown to be one of the top three open source CMS systems in the world, used by almost 3% of all the Internet websites. We did it! So what’s next?
This session will take a look at Joomla’s history, from the day Joomla was born on the 17th of August 2005, and past the many successes and challenges it has faced.
You will get a birds-eye view on the state of Joomla today and try to define a vision for Joomla’s future growth.
When : 3th September 2011, 14:00-15:00h
Nooku at the Dutch Joomladays
This weekend we will be at the Dutch Joomladays in Utrecht. It’s one of the oldest and most popular Joomla events in Europe: two days, hundreds of attendees, and lots of parallel sessions. Traditionally it has a great mix of newbies, organizations, and community members, which is the perfect recipe for inspiring discoveries.
We’re proud to announce that Nooku is once again sponsoring the Dutch Joomladays. Like last year, we’ll be holding court as Doctor Joomla, so if you have any questions about anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask. We’ll also be giving two presentations:
The Belgian Police and Joomla
Until recently, each of Belgium’s 190 police zones had their own websites, each running different proprietary systems. To increase the usability, and to cut down licensing costs, all 190 sites will be migrated to Joomla by the end of 2010.
This creates some challenging problems: how to maintain these sites? How to create consistency, yet allow for the required flexibility for each autonomous zone? How do you train and support your users?
During this case study, you’ll get a unique insight in the project, presented by Marc Alen, Adjunct Secretary of the Police, and Johan Janssens.
Nooku Framework
From it’s humble beginnings in 2008, Nooku has grown into a powerful platform. Hundreds of sites use custom built Nooku-powered extensions. Some of the first major public extensions are coming out of beta, such as Anahita Social Engine and Ninjaboard. A lot is happening in the community: the new Nooku Developer Portal was opened, and new tools and reusable components are being added.
Find out about the latest new developments in the Nookusphere in this presentation by Johan Janssens and Mathias Verraes.

Joomladays you can’t miss!
Joomla event season is starting again and we are firing up our engines. We already blogged about J! And Beyond, but there’s more:
Joomladay France
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!
Joomladays Mallorca
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.
Joomladays Netherlands
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!
Sweden and Denmark
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.
Get away from your desk!
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!
J! And Beyond: Joomla event of the year
J! And Beyond is the first community driven International Joomla Conference, taking place in Germany, May 30 till June 1st. It grew out of the vibrant community site All Together As A Whole. This is the Joomla event of the year, you don’t want to miss it!
The program is entirely up to you, as everyone can vote for presentations.

We’ve submitted presentations for everybody: developers, system integrators, and end users:
Nooku Framework Masterclass
Target audience: Joomla and PHP developers.
We’ll show you how to get started with Nooku Framework’snear-zero-code MVC, and how to leverage some of the exciting new features for extreme re-usability: taxonomy, trash management, …
Want to learn how to wield all this power? Vote for the master class and join us for a wild ride into Nooku Framework development.

Nooku Framework for System Integrators
Target audience: Anybody building more than one Joomla site a year.
Typical Joomla extensions are very inflexible. They do the job, but if you want just that little bit extra, you’re stuck. You either have to hack them, or persuade the developer to include the feature.
Extensions built with Nooku Framework are different. You get extreme flexibility, and you get it out of the box. With a basic understanding of PHP, you can change every aspect of a Nooku Framework powered extension. And we’ll prove it by showing how it’s done!

Target audience: Joomla users and administrators
J! And Beyond is the ideal time to introduce the first generation of Nooku-based extensions to the world:
- Ninjaboard, a brand new Jooma forum by Ninjaforge
- Anahita Social Engine, the mother of all social network applications
- Nooku Content, the multilingual extension with advanced SEO and content management features
We also have some exciting announcements to make. Curious? Register, vote, and come and see for yourself!

Nooku Buzz in Barcelona
I managed to have a quick chat with Johan Janssens, co-founder and principal architect of Joomla! 1.5, after presenting his first talk about Joomla!, in Barcelona today.
Albeit a brief chat, it seems the sessions are going really well and the community in Spain is quite strong. A funny aside, there were a few ‘nervous’ individuals in the audience, no doubt wondering what Johan might say about the current state of play.
You can see the thrust of his first presentation below. If you read the slides closely, you will notice the quote I derived from a pub only last night has already travelled the globe!!!
Later he will be presenting about the Nooku Framework project and the various magical innovations coming soon to the Joomlasphere.
Ever the intrepid traveller, Johan, he sends his best wishes to everyone here and hopes we are keeping our spirits up during some challenging times.
He says Buena Suerte to all :)
Addendum:
Since the initial post, Johan has conducted his Nooku Framework presentation. By all accounts this was quite a hit with loads of developers keen to get involved with the Nooku way of doing things — coding intelligence, coding efficiency, coding speed in a fun and friendly supportive dev environment.
Essentially, make more of your time with a more-powerful friend — Nooku.
Johan’s most powerful example was through Ninjaboard, developed by Daniel Chapman and his crew. There were plenty of oohs and ahs, when Johan demonstrated an 80% reduction in code in the Ninjaboard refactoring using Nooku Framework.
Then Johan touched on how Nooku tightens up security due to it requiring less code to achieve the same end through reusability and inherent usability. “Write less code to lower the risk of vulnerabilities,” Johan said. Provide advanced automatic security features out of the box.”
Slideshare below:
Note : Since this blog was first published on AllTogetherAsAWhole.org, we have invited 50 more developers to join in the fun at Nooku Framework.
DOCman Presentation Joomladay Italy
Key points:
- DOCman was a key driver for innovation in Joomla 1.5.

Nooku Code Jam in Hamburg
Last month, the team at Delius, one of our Nooku partners, organised the first Nooku Code Jam in Ghent, Belgium. Among the visitors where Sascha and Steffan from YOOTheme, creators of the Zoo extension. The Nooku Framework must have made quite an impression. Not only are they looking into using it for their new extensions, they also agreed to organise a second Nooku Code Jam in Hamburg, Germany on June 27th.
Sponsoring the Joomladays NL 2009
On June 12th and 13th you will be able to find us at the Dutch Joomladays in Nieuwegein, The Netherlands.
We very proud to announce that with the help of our Nooku partners (Delius and CRBM) we are sponsoring this years event. It’s shows the way we have grown over the past year. We couldn’t have gotten to where we are today without the support of all our partners. Seeing them produce beautiful multi-lingual websites built on Nooku, is what keeps us going.
Buckle up for a great ride because this year we are not doing one but three presentations and as you might have guessed Nooku will the star-attraction. So what are we talking about ?
1. On Friday I’ll be giving a plenary session about open source business models titled : ‘Why Freedom makes a better business model’ If you’re in any way working professionaly with open source applications, this will be a great talk to learn more about the business mechanics of FOSS.
2. Also on Friday Mathias and myself will be talking about our beloved and much appraised Nooku extension. For those of you who don’t know it yet, Nooku is a multi-lingual content manager for Joomla 1.5. Interested in how to setup a professional multi-lingual site with Joomla. This session will be for you.
3. Finally on Saturday spotlights will be on our new Nooku Framework. The framework brings future-proof Web 2.0 development to Joomla. In this session we’ll show you how easy extensions development can be. Together we’ll build a simple Joomla MVC extension in fewer lines of code than you ever imagined was possible.
We’ll be around from Thursday evening and all through the event, so come and say hi or bombard us with your questions at the Doctor Joomla sessions.
See you all at the Joomladays ! For those of you staying at home, we will be twitting live from the event.
