The stage has been set, and soon Anahita will make her debut appearance on the red carpet along with other prominent stars Joomla and Nooku!

With so much buzz around town about Anahita, its no wonder the whole city is suspended in anticipation of her arrival.

Photographers are checking the batteries of their cameras, businesses shutting down early, fans already lining the carpet to get a glimpse of this new up-and-coming star… the one who has already begun to capture the hearts of the Joomla and Open Source Communities.

So Ladies and Gentlemen, without any further adieu, I introduce to you Anahita…

Her Creators

For the past 18 months rmd Studio (Rastin Mehr – Lead Web Application Architect) and Peerglobe technology (Ash Sanieyan – Lead Web Application Architect) have been working around the clock in collaboration with Johan Janssens and Mathias Verraes (participating as Nooku MVC Framework consultants) from Joomlatools, to develop the ideal Open Source Social Web platform: Anahita Social Engine ™.

JenTekk is pleased to announce the recent launch of yet another pet project: cafeyogi.com

I first tried Bikram Hot Yoga on June 25th, 2008 at the Bikram Richmond Studio. I”ll never forget my first class – it was challenging! Between the heat, the postures, and my own demons – it was the longest 90 minutes in history for me.

Well, I just received my first Christmas Card this week – thank you Richard and Kaori from Japan!

I love Christmas time. Its a great opportunity to connect with people you haven’t connected with for quite some time. Let them know you think about them, value them and love them. Also, to share laughs, memories and lots of food with those close to you.

For many, Christmas is a stressful or even sad time.

Well… I’ve just signed up to attend my very first BarCamp, which is happening in Vancouver Friday, September 26 (5pm) – Saturday, September 27 (5pm).

BarCamp is advertised as an ad-hoc un-conference where people get to share and learn in an open environment. Its also promoted as a great opportunity to meet a lot of creative and friendly people, learn about their recent projects, and where you may also brag about your own recent projects.

I’ve opted out of the bragging part, with this being my first visit, but will definitely be participating in the presentations, taking notes, and engaging in Q & A opportunities.

Apparently we’re also told to bring a sleeping bag and pillow… I guess the ‘camp’ in barcamp is taken literally! Hmmm… not sure anyone wants to see my morning face/hair, so I’ll drive in on Saturday morning and spare them the details!

I hope to see you there!!

Joomla! CMS is one of the most powerful Open Source content management systems (CMS) on the planet. Joomla! is easy to manage, reliable to use, and is very popular with those of my clients using it.

The newest version of Joomla (version 1.5) is an ideal platform for building Corporate websites, Intranets and Social Networks.

So, it is with great pleasure that I make this announcement: Vancouver is officially hosting a Joomla! Day event – one of Joomla’s largest and most popular events!

As a sponsor and event organizer, you can probably imagine how excited I am to spread the word, and even more so… to invite you to join us.
