Thanks to all the participants of Joomla Day and all those who helped out – the team at Azrul.com, Toby Patterson from Joomla.org and the crew from Joomla-my.org. Without the long days and nights from all, we couldn’t have pulled off the day’s event! Anyway you guys and gals, the day was a fun filled event and it was a day where those in the Joomla community finally get to meet each other and get to know each one another better and have something fruitful came out of the meeting! During the day, we had Toby Patterson, our own residents, Mark Lee and Azrul Rahim, Lee CY, Syed Fuqaha and Shaiffulnizam take turns to talk about Joomla! Food was abundant, we were served with buffet for breakfast, lunch and tea! The environment was relaxed as we spent getting to know each other, learning more about Joomla and exchanging information on how we could use Joomla in enhancing our website and achieve what we want on the Internet. Our sponsors were generous in sponsoring for the t-shirts and other prizes for the event. Thanks to iJoomla, Joomlart, Packt Publishing and many others (forgive me, the list is just too long!), not forgetting MDeC and the friendly people at Exabytes. For us, it was a great experience in organizing an event and it broaden our experience in meeting more people and getting to know them. Here’s to our next event next year! Don’t forget to take a sneak at our photo’s for the event at

This week is quite a hectic week for us. On top of working on JomComment 3.0 and MyBlog 2.0 , we are also in charge of organizing Joomla Daya Malaysia 2008. We are always committed to spread Joomla! love around, especially at our hometown, Malaysia. This would be our 2nd year organizing JoomlaDay as project manager, with help from Joomla-My community.
We actually have no idea that there are just so many Joomla user in Malaysia. We originally prepare the venue and the event for 150 participant, but we quickly run out of seat and had to open an extra 50 seat, which again were snapped very very quickly.
For JDay this year, Toby Patterson from Joomla.org will be giving a talk on Joomla 1.5 and component development. I will also give a talk on Joomla 1.5 template development. A couple of local Joomla expert will guide new users to get their site up and running.
