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!

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

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.

(more…)

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!

“Email is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re gonna get.” (Forest Gump)

Okay so that’s not how the saying goes exactly, but for me much of ‘life’ happens through email.
