There has been a-stirrin’ in the joomla community around here. In recent months I have had two new joomla users who are looking at becoming members.

Stay tuned for new activity in 2010!

Howdy All,

Welcome back to reality all who have been in the land of holidays. When would you like to start up again? Throw some dates and times at me.

Sorry everyone, but I’m gonna have to postpone meeting for today. Will post soon wth next date. Thanks for your patience.

It’s official, another meeting. This meeting I thought we would continue to look at the menu options on offer and start on making a simple website.

I suggest the next meeting as the 30th of August. If there are any objections, please let me know. As the agenda has not really moved on, we will just continue to look at the menu options in order.

Please note there is a new version of Joomla 1.5.5. It deals with some security issue from the last update. 1.6 is due in Oct 2008, with some features, so we can expect some new features.

Anything that you want to learn/play with our next meeting, or I will charge on regardless?

I very pleased to announce a new member to our group. Helen, from Gerringong is interested in using Joomla. She is a website maintenance officer for a local business and she has interests in learning Joomla. Welcome aboard Helen. I hope to see you at our next meeting.

Like all of you, she is to confront XAMPP installation, but with a bit of help, she will get over the initial “hump” and with a bit of help from the xamppers, will be brought up tp speed to where we are up to in using the CMS Joomla.

Love the Screenhunter! My laptop has Vista Premium – took me the best part of a morning to figure out why my desktop wouldn’t screen capture. After much net trawling – realised my desktop is Vista Home Basic – NO screen capture Had downloaded a commercial program which was doing the job – but would have been at considerable purchasing expense (other option – upgrade H/B to P) However, tried ScreenHunter – LOVE IT! Thanks!

Thanks to those attended the last meeting we had. Although we struggled a bit to get everyone’s Joomla working, at least we got into the nuts and bolts of the machine and we can build on that next time. As the agenda was not completed, we will keep that agenda for the next meeting.

Thanks to the Kiama Joomlers at yesterday’s meeting – great fun. Thanks specially to Tim for getting my installation complete!

I have made a meetings agenda page for those who wish to have a subject raised/discussed/training. Please add to this as you wish.
