I was going back through The Joomla! Team Blog today, looking for some info on RC3, when I came across this post by Brad Baker. Here’s a snippet:
Joomla! 1.5 was the most talked about topic, and everyone just can’t wait for it. It’s certainly made me re-think my priorities and what I might be able to do to help towards the goal of getting 1.5 out as soon as possible.
It feels like a long time ago now, I was in a different job, and was growing a moustache. I had to run from work to get to the cafe on time.
It was a strange afternoon, exhilarating being around so many Joomla! users, but also slightly daunting. Everyone had a business card, and their own web design company.
These days I feel a little more confident using Joomla!, and am looking forward to other community days. I really should get my stuff together and make a visit to the Joomla! Melbourne Users Group.
Finally, here is a picture that Brad posted of the day, I’m somewhere in the middle, just look for the ridiculous moustache, it no longer exists. The moustach that is, not me in the photo…

I see you! COOL! I remember this picture, too, and it’s so awesome to see “people” where there were only “faces” before. Nice article.
I do hope you join in with the Melbourne User’s Group. It’s good to see Melbourne and Sidney Joomla! Users Groups working together more closely. Dex keeps things moving and is very positive. She is a great community builder.
Talk to you, later…Amy
Cool, moi? Your view would be in the minoritry, but I appreciate it nonetheless!
I’m looking forward to my first MUG meeting, hopefully there is another one before the end of the year. It would be great to have a MUG party for the official release of Joomla! 1.5.
