With the holidays approaching, we have some busy elves working overtime in Joomla! land! If you haven't noticed, Joomla! 3.2 is packed with new features. Unfortunately, one of the features has a problem that was not discovered during pre-release testing. During late-stage development in September and October, there were alpha, beta and release candidate testing cycles where many community members kicked the tires to uncover as many possible issues. But one was missed, and unfortunately it was a big one causing some users deploying new sites to get locked out of their site with no easy solutions to restore access.

Since launching Joomla 3.2 less than two weeks ago, we've watched the most incredible community come together, and we've been inspired every moment along the way. The marketing team created, artwork, infographics and videos.
This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, we'll be introducing some exciting new Marketing initiatives. As always, we'll share details on updates as we release them.
A huge thank you to everybody who made this happen!

The newly-forming Joomla! Marketing Working Group is currently looking for new active members from the Joomla community to join our team.
If you know a fellow Joomla community member who has experience in marketing and would be available and suitable for the position, please nominate him or her - you can also nominate yourself. If you are nominating someone else, please make sure that you've asked their permission.
Please keep in mind that this is *not* a voting contest: asking all your acquaintances to nominate or vote for you doesn't give you any bonus points :-)
