Upcoming Guest: Johan Janssens of Joomla!

Postby webmacster87 » 05 Dec 2007, 08:52

We've alluded to this on many previous episodes of phpBB Weekly, and now its official. Johan Janssens, the project manager and lead developer of Joomla!, will be our guest on phpBB Weekly #043, which will be recorded on Saturday, December 15th, at the usual time. David has been talking about the Joomla!-phpBB meetup in London which took place a few months ago, and so on this episode, we're going to be talking a bit about why and how phpBB and Joomla! are planning to work together in the near future.

As usual, we'd like to invite you to join in live on the episode (and if you call in, you yourself can appear on the phpBB Weekly episode to ask a question of us and/or Johan), but if you are unable and still have questions that you'd like to ask us to pass along, please feel free to post it in this topic.

I'll also take the opportunity to detail our plans for the other upcoming episodes. You'll notice on our TalkShoe page that there's no episode scheduled for December 22nd. We're going to be taking that Saturday off to do miscellaneous things with our families for the holidays, however I will be releasing a "best of" episode that weekend featuring some of the best moments from the past year on phpBB Weekly. December 29th will be a live episode that only I will host (David will be in the process of moving to Spokane), and we'll be taking a relaxed look back at the phpBB news of 2007 and take a look ahead into 2008, and I'd certainly like to have you join in and we can maybe all share our New Years resolutions or something.

What's in store for this Saturday's episode (December 8th)? Well, you'll just have to wait and see... ;)

Thanks again for being part of phpBB Weekly, and I look forward to seeing you when Johan joins us!

Ehm, I think we need to give Douglas a Geography lesson. :D
We?re moving to Spokane, not Seattle. :tease:

:shock: :scratch: - Well I'll ask about that separately not to clog up Douglas's topic here.

Douglas and David,

- Wow, that indeed great news! :D - Looking forward to that also! :D I have been lurking around on the Joomla project home page recently to take a look at it out of curiousity, and also started messing a round a bit with Joomla - well that's no so easy to get a grip on, I think, but perhaps that's just me beeing a slow learner and not reading anything about it before starting messing around with it. :grin:

One thing that really caught my attention on the Joomla project home page was the separate public so called Development Strategy. I started scanning it it a bit - it's actually a downloadable .pdf-file - placed in public area :cool: It's actually the white paper and road map of the project. After reading a bit I ended up going back to the start of the document and taking the time to read it all from start to the end. I must say I find that document very impressive! - It seems to me that all overall aspects of the project seem to be lined up there - every GPL project should in my opinion have such a thingy set up. I would really like to hear Johan's comments about that particular document, it's "story", background, when was it created, is it a ported Mambo thingy and such. - Not strictly phpBB related, but anyway - If you could cover it shortly under the podcast, I would appreciate it very much, and I hope other users also will. :)

- Keep up the good work, and keep the podcasts comming to us - just love them! :cool:

It's not a geography lesson that I need, it's a memory lesson.

That would be really cool for any software in development to use? I'll have to check that out.

I'm bumping this topic, with the reminder that TOMORROW is the day that Johan will be on phpBB Weekly; it will also be our last phpBB Weekly before we go on our holiday break. You have less than 27 hours to post your questions here (unless, of course, you plan to be there tomorrow live)!

Hey Douglas,

I am planning on being there tomorrow morning! I think it'll be a great show--I am actually counting on it! (oh! the pressure is on now, isn't it!) I think questions for people like him come as they come. Start like you always do, and the questions will come randomly. :P

Good luck tomorrow!

Will there be cake with strawberries on top? :P

I don't think I won't be able to not miss. (in other words, I should be there :P)

Sleep well tonight, Douglas and David and Johan Janssens! You have some work to accomplish tomorrow!
