Main Topic: Joomla Content Management System (Part II) - Jorge Garifuna and David Rolston

Because the Joomla/Mambo Presentation by David Rolston and Jorge Garifuna was so popular and because we had to cut the meeting a little short, many attendees asked that we continue our discussion of Joomla at the June meeting. We have gotten a tentative acceptance to have a follow-up.

Jorge's demonstration showing how easy it is to install Joomla made this old dog try a new trick. Within 20 minutes I had the skeleton of a complete Website up and running.

This month we will go into more depth on the tools and add-ons available to Joomla. I heard several people say they would like a discussion of the templates and how they are used.

David Rolston is a Los Angeles based system developer who has worked for a variety of entertainment and game companies including Paramount Pictures, Broderbund software, and Vivendi Universal Games. He has focused most of his recent efforts on LAMP and is one of the founders of LampSIG. He contributes to a number of open source projects including Joomla, and is the project lead of a popular Joomla gallery component called PonyGallery.

Jorge Garifuna is the CEO of Garinet Global Inc. which offers a multitude of Website services for organizations, businesses, entertainers and family members. Jorge has been using Joomla customer sites for some time now.
