To communicate to people is always challenging. It is so easy to be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Within the Joomla project we have a small team of very engaged community members that take care some of these communication efforts. Amy, Ron, Mitch and Wilco are doing a great job to get "the message" out on the front-page of joomla.org or support community members while contributing to the Joomla! Magazine. Thanks to all of you for that and keep up the good work.

I'm very happy that Neri Valentin-Macias (aka neriv) has joined the communications team just before Christmas. She already contributed to the project within the Google Summer of Code program and this shows again that these programs help people to get involved with Open Source Projects. Neri will help us to get some more general information about the project in order and improve the possibilities for you to get engaged with the project.

We have several ideas what can be done next. This can be by starting with new brochures that can be used by anybody to promote the project or with some specific information material that can easily be used within your language and environment. To get the things sorted out we are planing to brainstorm and give all Joomla users a chance to come up with your ideas. With a little guidance we plan to work on the various topics. First step is an update of our wiki and the invitation to give us some ideas and wishes you like to see for the community communication. This means now is the best time to register on the wiki and start getting involved with the Joomla project. May be you are the next joining one of the Joomla teams.
