| Free and Open Source Software is a wonderful thing. I use it everyday. 
| Whether it is OpenOffice.org for writing this article, using Firefox to do 
| research for this article, or using VideoLAN to listen to some streaming  
| Internet radio courtesy of Ormgas, I know that I am saving money, time, and 
| hard disk space by not using the commercial alternatives.

Portrait: Michelle Bisson balances consulting with Joomla! volunteerism

,----[ Quote ]
| "I've always done the things that nobody else wanted to do," Michelle Bisson 
| says, explaining how she became the only woman on the core team for the 
| Joomla! content management system. "I say, 'Oh, that needs to be done? Okay, 
| I'll do what I can.'" This outlook is responsible not only for making her one 
| of the founders of the Joomla! project, but also for giving her an unusual 
| degree of insight into how non-developers can contribute to free and open 
| source software projects (FOSS).

Open Source Joomla Emerges as a Top CMS Tool

,----[ Quote ]
| The Joomla website proclaims that, "Joomla is one of the most powerful open 
| source content management systems on the planet." Sure, they're biased about 
| their collaborative open source creation. But there's no arguing that Joomla 
| is quickly becoming one of the top content management system (CMS) platforms 
| on the Internet. Late last year Joomla won the best PHP Open Source Web CMS 
| award.

Ladies and Gentlemen... [Joomla! 1.5]

,----[ Quote ]
| It is with great pride that the Joomla! community announces to the world the 
| immediate availability of Joomla! 1.5 Stable [Khepri].  As a community of 
| contributors, we have been through celebrations and tribulations. We have had 
| fun, and we have worked hard. We have learned from and helped one another. 
| What started two and a half years ago with a letter to the community has 
| grown into a great opportunity for both the Joomla! project and community to 
| benefit from these efforts and to consider our future.

Joomla! - the licence stays the same

,----[ Quote ]
| Christopher Justice says: "...we haven't changed the license and we 
| have no plans to.  We have raised the visibility of the GPL and we're
| encouraging a better understanding of the GPL. It is our view that 
| extensions are derivative works and therefore we encourage all 
| extensions to be GPL compliant. The Joomla! community has grown to 
| over 110,000 members with the same license and a huge community of 
| commercial and non-commercial developers. There are some non-GPL 
| compliant extensions but the majority of the extensions available 
| are GPL. As the project continues to grow, we'll focus more on GPL 
| extensions to build a stronger and more open project and community."
