Hey! I attended my very first ever Joomla event this past Saturday - namely the Vancouver Joomla DocCamp. With no expectations other than to meet people, have fun, play with and write about Joomla 1.5, it did not dissappoint.

Joomla! DocCamp is an exciting community effort, where a number of Joomla Developers and writers will be getting together to write documentation for the new Joomla! 1.5 framework.

Joomla! Doc camp will be happening simultaneously in many cities around the globe. So far, Vancouver BC, Brussels, and Washington DC have indicated they will be involved in this great community event.

We will be collaborating and writing documentation for Joomla, and having fun in the process. There will be live Blogging, Flickring, posted YouTube videos, interviews with the participants, and possibly a live video stream so that our counter-parts around the world can join us (virtually) in the fun!

This week I had the opportunity to create a simple web page called saving mom for a 10 year old boy named Tagg.

Tagg contacted me through his Mom - Honnor Moore, a client who quickly became a dear friend.

Over the past 8 years, Tagg has watched his mom struggle with the pain and crippling effects of rheumatoid arthritis. I can’t imagine how difficult this is for him, and how helpless he must feel.

Now, this courageous boy is doing something about it. He is asking for help to raise the funds - $25,000.00 - to get his mom to a special hospital in Mexico, called the Sanoviv Medical Institute.
