A lot has been said about the development of Joomla! since the day it was born. The story goes back years, spans continents, and includes a cast of thousands. It's a fantastic story, with all of your standard themes — greed, rage, turmoil, love lost. But mostly it's a story of dedicated people laboring to create something they truly believe in.
In this session we will bring you this story. Our journey will start on the 17th of August 2005 and continue past the many successes but also the many challenges faced. You'll hear about the day Joomla was born, the release of 1.0 and the road to 1.5.
You will learn about the struggles that were fought, the price that was paid and the successes achieved. Joomla success represents the sum total of the energy expended by thousands of people around the world for almost a decade.
We will take a look at the future of Joomla. The development of 1.6 and the many innovations Joomla developers are working on outside of the core.
Finally I will share with you my dreams and ideas how we together can take Joomla to infinity … and beyond !
