Let's Have a Weekly Online Joomla Meetup

During March, April and May 2020 we ran a series of weekly, online Joomla user groups.

This was a project that we ran wile many stuck in lockdown at home.

We were lucky enough to have speakers that included George Wilson, Randy Carey, Peter van Westen, Vic Drover, Andy Miller and Johan Janssens.

You can find videos of most of the earlier user group sessions on Joomlashack's YouTube channel.

Thursday, March 26 with George Wilson

I'm delighted that George Wilson from the Joomla team joined us to talk about Joomla 4. George gave a must-watch talk about Joomla 4 at last year's Joomlashack Conference. This session was more informal. George did a Q&A and a demo of Joomla 4. Click here to see a recording of George's session.

Thursday, April 2

This was a private, group discussion. No live-streaming. No recording. We had an off-the-record chat for Joomla businesses in the Covid-19 era.

Thursday, April 9 with Randy Carey

Randy Carey gave an excellent talk at the Joomlashack Conference about Joomla plugins. Randy spoke about how to really provide value to customers through development work. He talked using a "chunking" strategy to make it easy for users to add content. Click here for a recording of Randy's session.
