After short notice and some marketing the 3rd Joomla! Day was held at Cape Penninsular University of Technology.
A big thank you needs to go to the team from the university for organising the live feed to Germany with Alex Kempkens.
The first presentation was held by Stephen from Com-du-IT. He spoke more about collaboration with the various people working in the industry and ways in which this can be streamlined. This opened up a few questions to each person as to how we run our business.
The following presentations where by Alex from Germany, via live Skypecall. With a few technical problems, like no mic from our end, everything else was smooth. He introduced us to Joomla 1.5 and gave us interesting perspective as to what is to come from this version.
Alex Kempkens, who is amember of the Joomla! Core Team, also gave a brief introduction on JoomFish, the language component for Joomla.
After a short lunch break. We returned to hear Charl van Niekerk, who also spoke about Joomla 1.5. He was invited by Joomla! to work on code at the Google summer of code. Joomla adopted the code he wrote and he is actively involved in expanding this. His main talk focused on template overrides.
All in all a great meeting, and we are sure to be back in 2008.
Thanks to all for attending and we hope you enjoyed this.

{Ed: Since Matthew Philogene of Raramuri Design wrote this report, it would be amiss for me not to mention that he also did a fair bit of presenting on the day, besides co-ordinating the event down in Cape Town - thanks, Mat]
