5x5: National Leaders That Use Joomla
Written by Steve Burge
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
President of Guyana
The President and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs both run Joomla in Guyana.
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.
Ayatollah of Iran
Unpopular as he might be outside of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a national leader and he run Joomla sites for several languages including Arabic and English.

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.

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.
