We held the Joomlashack Conference over 3 days in mid-November.
This was a free conference featuring over 20 of the best speakers from around the Joomla world.
I was amazed at how good the presentations were. We're currently editing all the videos and posting them to the Joomlashack YouTube channel.
This presentation is from Randy Carey. I've known Randy for many years. I think he presented the last time we had a conference like this five years ago. Randy has a skill of presenting a technical topic in a way that even non-technical people like myself can understand and appreciate. Randy is a long-time member and volunteer of the Joomla community. He is going to be talking about the magic of Joomla system plugins.
They may look like one of a kind of plugin. If you go to your Joomla admin area, there are many different types: Content, Authentication, User. But System plugins are perhaps the most powerful of all. In this presentation, Randy is going to dig into what exactly makes them different and what you can do to power your Joomla site.

Many people will probably disagree, but we shouldn't be afraid of change. Auto-updates are a very helpful tool to keep sites safe and they're proven to be reliable.
Here's an introduction to why auto-updates are awesome, and how you can use them to protect your sites.
