The South African Joomla! community is pleased to invite you to Joomla! Day CAPE TOWN, South Africa, an event to be held 19 July 2008, at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
Joomla! Days offer an excellent opportunity to learn, network with other Joomla! users and developers, and discover ways to contribute to the Joomla! Project. The South African Joomla! community has been hard at work to ensure that this year's Joomla! Day event is at least as informative and fun as the three previous successful South African events held during 2007.
The Joomla! Day South Africa - CAPE TOWN Agenda presents one full day of activities.
The unofficial program is as follows:
- Fabrik Forms - Rob Clayburn (Fabrik)
- Commercial Extensions, a business model - Ryan Demmer (JCE)
- Brendon Hatcher (Brilliantweb)
This will also give you the chance to air your views, thoughts and pose questions to the community about Joomla!.
Joomla! Day South Africa events are run by the Joomla! Southern African Community Portal, a non-profit organization. Register online now to attend. Your registration includes refreshments and an information packet.
Joomla! Days are well-attended worldwide. A key benefit of attendance is the opportunity to connect with members of the Joomla! community, including speakers, designers, Web site builders and developers. We wish the very best and an enjoyable Joomla! Day event to our South African Joomla! community.
