  • Roadmap

    What’s your passion? Get involved!

    Last fall/autumn in NYC we held our first Joomla Roadmap to bring the community into the process of helping to determine the direction of Joomla. As an Open Source project, what gets done in Joomla depends on volunteers stepping up to make things happen. It takes more than a willingness of the community to help, however. It also takes coordination between what the community wants to see done, what the community is willing and able to create and making sure that all of that will work with the overall vision of where the project wants to go.

    We are weaving the Joomla Roadmap throughout J and Beyond this year – starting Friday with a keynote speech, then continuing on with lightning talks on different features and issues that are of interest to Joomla 3.x and beyond. On Saturday we bring people together into 7 different interests groups to organise how to move forward with that feature. Your passion isn’t in one of those groups? Then now is a good time to gather other passionate people and we can help you get a group started.

    We hope that this is just the beginning of bringing people together to constructively move Joomla forward.

  • Social

    If you have been to J and Beyond before you will know that the social aspect of the conference is just as important as the sessions and speakers.

    We work hard to ensure that there is a good balance and whilst nothing at J and Beyond is compulsary to attend you probably will not want to miss these.

  • Joomla Open Source Creative and Artistic Recognition Awards

    2010 saw the launch of the first ever global Joomla Open Source Creative and Artistic Recognition (J.O.S.C.A.R.) awards which was successfully repeated in 2011. The J.O.S.C.A.R event is now firmly on the Joomla calendar.

    Nominations are made by you the Joomla community and a shortlist is created from this by an International Jury. The list of finalist will be announced on the 9th May to give you the attendees sufficient time to check out the shortlisted nominees.

    All attendees at J and Beyond will receive a voting form on arrival so that they can cast their votes and at a star studded ceremony the winners will be announced on the 19th May. Hopefully J!TV will be on hand to interview all the winners, commiserate with the runners up and to comment on the audience's fashion or lack of.

    Nominations are now closed.

  • Lightning Talks

    After lunch on Day Three of J and Beyond the observant amongst you will have noticed that we have a session called "Projects I'm Working On / Lightning Talks". This is an opportunity for anyone to make a short presentation on anything they want.

    Unlike other presentations, lightning talks last only five minutes and any speaker who goes over that time will have their microphone switched off. If you are interested in giving a lightning talk please complete the submission form.

  • Location

    Bad Nauheim is right in the centre of Europe not far from Frankfurt (approx 35km). This historic spa town has become a world leading centre for medical care and recovery but is perhaps more famous for being the place where Elvis Presley was stationed during his time in the US Army.

    More information can be found on the official Bad Nauheim web site (in German).

  • Accommodation

    There are several options for hotel accommodation but we recommend that you book a room in the Dolce Hotel so you don't have to travel each day and you will have more time for socialising and networking.

    Room availability is limited and we expect the hotel to be fully booked so do not delay.

  • Opportunities

    J and Beyond is an event for web site builders and developers! You as a sponsor will get in contact with the people that are using your product or service. This gives you the great opportunity to discuss needs and challenges and the requirements for the future of your product or service. You can show and explain your solutions at a high technical level and convince people to use it. But it is not only a one to one relation, you meet the people that are close to the corporate decision makers. Just convince one and you get more then one happy customer back.

    The last two years we had a great success with J and Beyond and sponsors and attendees told us that this was an exciting and outstanding event for them. It is widely accepted that going to J and Beyond is an investment in your future. That is true for both the attendees and also the sponsors.

    We go beyond classical conferences in which a small group of people selects presentations out of suggestions of well known speakers. We bring un-conference styles to a new level of collaboration and community involvement. As a corporate sponsor you will help to enable the Joomla community to meet, learn, discuss and work together. Your sponsorship will directly be linked with fun, bringing a virtual community together in a real environment and high profile information which the community decided to listen to.

    Is sponsoring the event complicated or expensive? Not at all!

    Sponsorship opportunities for this conference are all focused on enabling the community to participate, get involved, collaborate and share the information, knowledge and fun of the event.

    We have many different plans and alternatives for sponsoring. Starting with four levels of corporate sponsorships (Main, Gold, Silver and Bronze), Social Event sponsorship, Video sponsorship and Lanyard sponsor. In addition we offer exhibition space for commercial and non-commercial Joomla! extensions and individual sponsorships.

    Please check out the following information for details or download the sponsorship matrix for an overview and if you have any further question do not hesitate to get in touch with us at sponsoring@jandbeyond.org.

  • J and Beyond 2010

    

    May 2010 in Wiesbaden, Germany 190 people from 27 different countries gathered together for three days of Joomla, Joomla and a little bit more Joomla.

    The idea of this international gathering was several years in the making but after Joomla!Day Germany 2009 Robert Deutz was determined to make it happen and happen it did, in style.

    This event was designed to be run by the participants. All the sessions were proposed and run by attendees and with over 55 sessions it was certainly a challenge to attend everything that you wanted to.
