Saturday 12th December: Joomla! Day Spain
Our Joomla!Day will follow the good practices of last year in the Joomla!Day Madrid. It will have: conferences and round table of best practices.
Why Barcelona?
Despite last year's success at Madrid'08, this year we would like to give the opportunity to another spanish city. After working on different possibilities, we concluded that this year is a fantastic moment for Barcelona: local community is big and very organised, and there are many people that wants to give a hand organising the event.

Joomla! Day Brazil 2009
Thursday, 02 July 2009
After a very tough dispute between the two largest cities in Brazil - Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the Wonderful City, as Rio is also known, was chosen as headquarters for the Joomla! Day Brazil 2009. The place where the event will be carried through, at the feet of the Sugar Loaf mountain, has a conference room for 300 people and an ample space for coffee-break and networking.
Important developers, companies and members of the Joomla Project! have already confirmed their presence. We have planned a full day with lectures for beginning users and developers, case studies and a lot of networking.
We feel this last one is the most valuable, because our wish is for the Community to grow as a whole and for everyone to walk side-by-side towards a better CMS and a better Internet.
We have a limited availability for attendance to this event and we are offering a discount for those who sign up until July 25. So Hurry up if you are serious about learning more about Joomla! and meeting prominent members of the community.
