After the long awaited and momentous 1.6 release (which was so much more than just a point release), everything is about to change. 

Learn the basics on how to use Firebug to interpret and debug your Joomla sites, especially for those who are relatively new to Joomla and templating.  Daniel Holmes will be presenting.  Update: Event video now available here.

The long awaited Joomla 1.6 is now released.

Rebuilt from the ground up in much of the application, this latest Joomla release will delight the casual site builder while helping small, medium, and enterprise businesses succeed in delivering web sites, intranets and applications to their respective markets.

Delivering power through simplicity, Joomla 1.6 ensures its place as the popular CMS of its kind.

You can download it from www.joomla.org

If you are interested in making your Joomla admin looks more modern and want to check on the security of your Joomla extensions and installation, you'll be interested in the launch of the new Joomla admin template - "Flexile"

This admin template revolves around enhanced productivity principles and will be made available for both Joomla 1.5 and the forthcoming 1.6.

It's Joomla's 5th birthday on the 6th of September 2010 and there is lots to celebrate!  We'll have a catch-up group where we talk about the progress towards Joomla 1.6 and there will be plenty of time for people to ask their Joomla related questions.

Due to an unexpected injury which has prevented the final phase of organising and running the Joomla Day in Brisbane, the event has been postponed.  A replacement date (within the next month or so) will be determined and announced in the near future.
