I have just posted in The Lounge section of the Joomla! Forums, inviting people interested in becoming contributors to this blog. You can read and reply to the post here: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=271225. (Thread deleted for breaking Forum guidelines about self promotion.) Here is what I posted:
Hello Joomla fans!
For the past few months, I have been working on an unofficial blog about Joomla! You can check it out here:
The reason I began this blog, was because I felt that there was a lack of enthusiast blogs about Joomla! that where not connected to businesses that produce templates, components, or books about Joomla. Many of these blogs are brilliant, and you can find them all by googling “Joomla Blogs”. After you go through the search results for joomla blogging extensions, you will come across them.
So anyway, I started My Joomla News, to try and be just as interesting as Amy Stephen’s http://opensourcecommunity.org/, it is a lot of fun, but I still feel like it should be more.
So I am putting out the call for fellow Joomla users to become contributors to the blog. So if you are interested in posting opinions about Joomla, sharing news about cool new extensions, and experiences about using Joomla that doesn’t quite fall into the category of a joomla forum post, let me know in this thread.
It will be brilliant to develop a communal blog all about Joomla that is as fun and interesting as the joomla community itself.
I also have a secret desire to be part of a Joomla podcast, as this is something our community is lacking. Especially since Joomla Jabber has broadened their focus to include all CMSs. Hopefully a group of Joomla bloggers working together will be able to achieve a Joomla podcast of the quality of TWiT (http://twit.tv/twit)
Cheers,
Nicholas.

I have a secret desire to do a Joomla! podcast, as well. Let’s make it happen!
Too late Amy — JoomlaJabber is on the air!
I’m glad to hear you say that Amy, let’s do this!
Great! OK. Email me and let’s compare notes and ideas and time schedules! Or, catch me on Skype. Thanks!
“Timing is everything” …and this is the time.
I start by saying, quote, “I started My Joomla News, to try and be just as interesting as Amy Stephen’s http://opensourcecommunity.org/, it is a lot of fun, but I still feel like it should be more.”
And here is my version on that piece.
I started my nyjoomla, to try to emulate Amy Stephen’s http://opensourcecommunity.org using WordPress.
My blog may not be interested as the one you created but here I am…just a tiny part of social networking, contributing, not that much…but a little of something.
Thank you guys!
Thanks for stopping by ultimoAdios
I think your blog is very neat, and the more discussion about Joomla the better for our community, and as you say “part of social networking”.
