Hi Gang, Just a reminder that the monthly Joomla NYC meeting takes place tonight and remember to go to the new location. We're still at Lincoln Center, but we will now meet at a new space across the street from Rose Hall.
Also, we need chairpersons and presenters for upcoming meetings. I will chair the July meeting and Laura has volunteered for September. We still need a chairperson for August. We also need presenters. If you have come across a great module or component, why not share it others at the next Joomla meet up? Please contact me if you are interested in presenting or chairing upcoming meetings. I also had a chance to test Joomla 1.7 Alpha 1 last night and the good news is it looks and feels exactly like Joomla 1.6. I was able to install 1.6 templates and modules without any modifications. I have got my fingers crossed that it will be a painless upgrade to 1.7 next month (July). I have pasted the deployment calendar below. It is also worth noting that support for Joomla 1.5 will end in April 2012. You might want to start steering those clients now using 1.5 to Joomla 1.6 and 1.7. And remember, Joomla Day NYC weekend is Oct. 22 and 23. For more info, see www.JoomlaDayNYC.com See you later tonight, - - - Steve 05 June - Joomla alpha 1 released for public testing 10 June - Feature freeze to prepare for beta release 13 June - Joomla beta 1 to be released for public testing 27 June - Joomla beta 2 to be released for public testing 4 July - Version 11.1 of the Joomla Platform to be released 10 July - Joomla 1.7 GA released 10 August - Joomla 1.6 reaches end of life and is no longer supported January 2012 - Next version of Joomla is released April 2012 - Joomla 1.5 reaches end of life -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant [email protected] ph: 914-661-0040
