Vancouver Joomla Day was a major success!

Vancouver Joomla Day

I should have made this post on Monday, but we were still recovering from the event and catching up with the lost work hours for our client’s projects.

For those of you who missed this event, it was held on June 14th in the Vancouver Public Library. To learn more you can read this blog post.

Vancouver Joomla Day

I guess the pictures from the Vancouver Joomla Day speak for themselves, we did have a great time all together. There were concerns in the past that Joomla! wasn’t nearly as recognized as Wordpress or Drupal in the Vancouver area, and this event busted the Myth! Based on the multiple counts, we had about 120 people show up. The ratio of ladies to gentlemen were about 1 to 3; we certainly hope to have more ladies involved in these type of events in the future.

Vancouver Joomla Day

Based on the community feedback, about 11 people showed up (correct me if I’m wrong) at the last Joomla Day held in Toronto, so I think it is safe to announce the Vancouver Joomla Day as being the largest one ever in Canada so far.

The new Vancouver Joomla Day Schedule

There have been some changes made to Vancouver Joomla! Day. We’ve figured the previous schedule was a bit too developer focused and had little room for Community members to be in the spotlight and socialize too. The new schedule here provides:

  • 6 Project Spotlight time slots for those community members who’d like to display a project developed in Joomla. More details regarding the Project Spotlights will be posted immediately.
  • There is a 1 hour lunch break which allows us to socialize a bit
  • We also have a 50 min break at the end of the day from 4:20 to 5:30 which will give us a chance to socialize and cross pollinate ideas.

Meet us at the Flux Modern Bistro after the Tazzu WordPress Camp

There has been a change of plan for the after party venue. We were initially planning to go to the close by Steamworks, but unfortunately they have been all booked. Steamworks is taken over by the accountants in the tax season, we had no idea there were this many accountants in town!

fluxbistro.pngInstead we are going to the Flux Modern Bistro (162 Water Street - 604.678.8800). Our friends at the Automattic have paid for the first round of beer for all the attendees. You’ll learn more about the after party at the Tazzu WordPress Camp.

We are all part of this business eco-system

Business Community

There is nothing better than the business of bringing people together! Communities are what hold small businesses together!

One would think that with the rise of online communication people will increasingly hide inside their cocoons and replace face-to-face human interaction with less personal electronic communications. I personally don’t buy into that argument at all!
