The Techjoomla Blog

Have you ever been to a Joomla Event?  Till recently they came in 3 main flavors.

1. The Joomla Days - which tend to be super local and get a good mix of integrators, developers and business people
2. JandBeyond (JAB) - which is an EU event but attracts a global audience and focuses on content that’s not just Joomla but also beyond. JAB tends to be more developer focussed.
3. Finally the Joomla World Conference - the first few editions of which happened in the US and since it has traveled the world and been to Mexico, India, Canada & Italy. This event was retired after the Rome edition in 2017 with funds being diverted by OSM to making more local events happen.

The Events Page on the Joomla Community site is the best place to stay on top of events happening worldwide. So if you have not been to an event yet, plan your outing today!

Thank you for the amazing response to the JTicketing 2.1.0 release. We are happy to bring you the roadmap for the changes planned in the next major release - JTicketing 2.2.0.

Read on for the detailed list of features planned for the next major release.

We have released JGive 2.1.4. This is primarily a bug fix release and we have also addressed a few security issues. We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible.

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. Right from blogging about your experiences, posting videos, starting discussions on your favourite topics and sharing viral content, everything is possible with social media. Learning as an experience as well as an industry is not unaffected by this trend. In fact as more learning goes online, it is something that will need to be embraced as a toolset to improve user engagement and reach by Learning management systems. 

Shika has embraced this very early in its product lifecycle and is always evolving its feature set to make it a true Social Learning Management System. Read on to see what features Shika offers that gives it a Social edge!

Techjoomla is proud to support J and Beyond - possibly one of the most unique tech conferences in the world as a Bronze Sponsor this year! We have been attending this conference for a while now. In fact, our first introduction to this amazing event was due to a partial scholarship by the conference back in 2012 when we first got introduced to the international Joomla community in person! Since then we have been hooked and have attended almost every JAB then on.

Techjoomla co-founders Parth & Ashwin will be attending the event. Parth will be a key speaker at the event where he will do a session on 'The Spirit of Open Source'. This is a must-attend session to learn how you can use open source to accelerate value addition for our clients and your own business! Do look us up at the talk or at our sponsor area to know more about our products and offerings.
