5x5: National Leaders That Use Joomla

Labels: Joomla Portfolio

We're running a series this week that we call 5x5. Every day this week we're going to highlight 5 Joomla sites in a particular category.

Today we're focusing on 5 national leaders that use Joomla for their official websites. There are many more such leaders, so if know of others, please post in the comments.

President of Argentina

The Argentine president lives in the Casa Rosada (Pink House) and the domain http://casarosada.gov.ar leads to the same site.

President of Ecuador

In addition to the president, Ecuador also runs its major government online newspaper using Joomla: http://elciudadano.gov.ec

Prime Minister of Cape Verde

Really we could have chosen many Cape Verde examples for this series because their entire government runs on Joomla. Use the pulldown menu in the top right corner to find more examples.

  1. Hello,

    Ayatollah website is not Joomla !
    please double check http://farsi.khamenei.ir/
  2. Thanks Fred - you're right. It looks like all his sites are Joomla except for Farsi.
  3. Hi, We use Joomla too, please enter to http://www.uac.edu.co, "Universidad Autonoma del Caribe" from Barranquilla Colombia
  4. "Khamenei- the dynamic portal engine and content management system"

    Looks like the Farsi site IS a heavily modded Joomla! site ...

    http://arabic.khamenei.ir//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=974

    Oh and the theme is a heavily modded JoomlaArts theme. Silly Ayatollah, scripting is for kiddies. ;-)
  5. Hey, I'm looking eagerly forward to Joomla! 1.6 Beta 357 !!!!
    :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D
  6. Great

    We love you Joomla
  7. I'm very disappointed to see the Joomla team mention this at all!

    Hey maybe you could dig up a neo-Nazi group that uses Joomla, or maybe even a Klu Klux Klan chapter?

    Even if the Ayatollah did use Joomla, what possible good could it be to publicize it?

    Joomla is about coming together -- even your logo emphasizes this -- not about giving voice to hatred.
