Recently the Joomla Community Workgroup came up with an idea to share just how much work is being done with the wider community by way of a monthly team report. You can see the source of the combined report I have compiled below here.
It's an incredible snapshot of the 100's of volunteers working on this part of the Joomla Project. Thanks must also to go to the support OSM ( www.opensourcematters.org ) gives to our project, as well as the Joomla Production Workgroup.
Read on for the full report, it's amazing!
Joomla Community Magazine Team
- Komrade/K2 design was installed on community.joomla.org in May and is now undergoing content and extension updates and testing by JCM team.
- Have formed a new JCM Public Relations team to come up with ideas on how to better promote the JCM.
- Have asked if it would be okay to produce a companion PDF version of the JCM, waiting for a response.
- The previous June 1 launch has been moved back to July 1. Primary reasons are that we are waiting to receive a custom EchoSign plugin which will manage the Author License Agreement process, and we still have various other content/style/format/workflow issues yet to be resolved.
- Active members: Fotis Evangelou, Chris Marinou, Nenad Antic, Ron Severdia, Anthony Olsen, Renea Leathers, Mark Bender, Dianne Henning, Cristina Solana, Miljan Vujosevic, Hilary Cheyne, Neri Valentin-Macias, Bo Astrup, Steve Burge, Nicholas Dionysopoulos, Brian Sullivan, Amy Stephen, Ahmad Alfy, Robert Vining, Matt Lipscomb, Alice Grevet, Mustaq Ahmed, Arlen Walker, Zoran Belic, Nick Antimisiaris, Paul Orwig.
Joomla Community Site Showcase Team
( https://community.joomla.org/showcase )
- 287 Entries Processed
- 182 Approved
- 10 Clones Remove
- SoTM (Site of the Month) June 2010: https://community.joomla.org/showcase/sites/arts/dance/compagnie-antares.html
We have been fairly diligent and on top of the entries for over 6 months. This means most entries will be seen within about 1 to 10 days of being submitted. We are concerned that people are not following the showcase guidelines and that we are forced to reject sites that would otherwise be great to have in the showcase.
- Active volunteers: Lee Cher Yeoung, Ron Severdia, Pablo Yamamoto, Matt Lipscomb and Mike Hamanaka
Joomla People.joomla.org Team
( people.joomla.org )
- 3093 Members to date who have uploaded 224 videos.
- 14 events have been listed... most JUG meetings, some bigger conferences, some more broad, and 1 that is not related to Joomla.
- "We are presently preparing the site for an official launch, although we have no set date yet" -Sandra Warren Some testing and correcting of minor technical issues is what is preventing the official launch.
- We are actively recruiting community managers who can speak non- english languages. Lot's of small talk of which Jomsocial Extensions/Functionalities will be installed. The Management team has asked for community input for which to consider. Azrul himself will be doing the final installing of all suggested functionality. The community managers will be testing and evaluating some of the suggestions which make it through an initial evaluation. There is no promise that all suggested will be tested.
- You can open your thoughts for Jomsocial Extensions/Functionalities discussion here. I would definitely speak up if you have a good suggestion. https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=576&t=522614 A report was written by Philippe Tassin about 2 weeks ago, http://people.joomla.org/news-a-updates.html
- Those involved on the management team are:
Admins: Sandra Warren, Phil Tassin
Managers: Claire Mandville, Jennifer Marriott, Wendy Robinson, Mark Bender, Brad Baker, Ashraf Hamed, Beat, Himanshu Nagpal, Jacques Rentzke, Mike Hamanaka, Jerome Bussiere, Ronak Bhagdev, Svetlana Zec, Jean-Marie Simonet, Javier Gomez
