JenTekk Blog

Last night Rastin, Arash, and myself held a Joomla 1.5 DemoCamp at the Network Hub in Vancouver. Turn out was really good! The feedback that I’ve received already indicates that this event was a success, with attendees’ passions ignited, and truly excited about using Joomla 1.5 themselves!

So… what did you do this weekend? Take a walk by the ocean? Eat at Pajo’s Fish and Chips? Maybe catch some rays at the top of your favorite ski hill? Before I tell you what I did, let me tell you why I did it…

Last week, I’d been notified that this very blog (running on Wordpress Version 2.2.2) was being exploited, and that I needed to upgrade to the latest version.

Now you can guess what I did this weekend. I not only upgraded JenTekk Blog, but also 5 other Wordpress websites to the newly released Wordpress v. 2.3.3 ! Oh yeah, and then I made a bee-line to my favorite tanning salon!

Last spring I blogged about a young boy named Tagg: Saving Mom - a 10 year old’s mission - who contacted me to assist him with raising funds to help his mom (Honnor) who is suffering accutely with rheumatoid arthritis. I quickly created a paypal donations webpage for them.

Tagg notified all his friends and family. I put the word out to ‘my people’… many who empathized and blogged about Taggs plight… thank you to each one!

Together we were able to raise over $3,000.00. However, eventually donations came to a stand still - that was until I’d heard about GiveMeaning.

You may notice that JenTekk is becoming more and more involved in activities surrounding Joomla - as a participant and sponsor.

This is in part due to the fact that I adore the product - sure call me a Joomlarette if you want to! In addition, any projects that Rastin Mehr (from rmd Studio) and I collaborate on almost always involve using Joomla CMS. Rastin’s the fella that got me hooked on Joomla. I’m okay with this!

So I’d like to inform you of our next event: Vancouver Joomla DemoCamp01
