In yet another success in a string of successful Joomla!Days in South Africa, a full room of Joomla! users from across the country met for a terrific event to spread the Joomla! word in Cape Town today.

I had the honor of joining the local Joomla!Day leadership team, including Matthew Philogene, Brendon Hatcher, and Sean Grant, all of whom put in tremendous efforts for a great day of events. I was especially honored to be the first Joomla leadership member to attend a Joomla!Day in Africa.

Key to my goals for attending this event was to ensure that the Joomla project had a strong focus on expanding its efforts for outreach into the African continent, starting with the already vibrant community in South Africa.
