Joomla is Open Source
Software
Open source software is software whose source code is available for modification or enhancement by anyone. http://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source
And that’s how we got our start. Joomla was the result of a fork of Mambo on August 17, 2005. !
Joomla won the Packt Publishing Open Source Content Management System Award in 2006, 2007, and 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joomla
Joomla! is Volunteers
A LOT of Contributors

its one of the best CMS’s out there.

“People are not binary. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, positives and negatives. Don’t judge people until you’ve walked a kilometer in their shoes.”
Guy Kawasaki - “Enchantment” p. 14
Volunteers need 3 things: • Purpose (their why) • Progress (their contribution) • Appreciation (their thanks)
Opportunity“Joomla does more than simple content management and allows small businesses, digital design agencies, freelancers and other entrepreneurs to create powerful websites for their clients. “
