The CB Team has just made GroupJive 1.8 beta 1 publically available on our brand new Joomlapolis forge site (http://forge.joomlapolis.com/projects/list_files/groupjive)! This first beta release should not be used on production sites. We have released this to the public to assist us in identifying bugs and issues in order to reach stability. We have also created a forum area (component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,38/task,listcat/catid,103/) on Joomlapolis for GroupJive, so feel free to post your issues and requests. Your assistance is kindly requested. The CB Team would like to thank Kyle (aka krileon) and Jamie (aka Rapunzl) for their efforts to make this happen as well as all previous GroupJive contributers and developers.

The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Joomla 1.5.12 [Wojmamni Ama Woi]. This release contains a number of bug fixes and three moderate-level security fixes. It has been less than a month since Joomla 1.5.11 was released on June 3, 2009.

This release marks an important milestone for the Joomla Project due to the upgrade of the PEAR library to the new BSD licensed version, which brings the codebase into full compliance with the GPL. In addition, this release contains an important upgrade to TinyMCE v 3.2.4.1.

The Production Working Group's goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla community.

Joomla! Bug Squad

Thanks to the Joomla Bug Squad for their dedicated efforts investigating reports, fixing problems, and applying patches to Joomla. If you find a bug in Joomla, please report it on the Joomla 1.5 Bug Tracker.

Active members of the Joomla Bug Squad during this last release cycle include: Ian MacLennan and Mark Dexter co-coordinators; Airton Torres, Alan Langford, Ashwin Date, Dennis Hermacki, Elin Waring, Flavia Tarzwell, Gergő Erdősi, Hannes Papenberg, Jennifer Marriott, Johnathan Cheung, Kevin Devine, Klas Berlič, Marieke van der Tuin, Marijke Stuivenberg, Mati Kochen, Ole Bang Ottosen, Sajid Ahmed, Samuel Moffatt, and Tibor Tóth.

A warm welcome to the newest members of the Joomla Bug Squad: Johnathan Cheung, Sajid Ahmed, and Shaun Janssens.

Today we are proud to announce an important shift in the organisation and governance of the Joomla Project. This change is focused on making it easier to fulfill our mission, achieve our vision and remain true to our values.

Firstly, we are simplifying the current Working Group structure. Secondly, we are changing the leadership and management of the project in a way that provides a more open and flexible structure. Thirdly, we are shifting the governance of the project to a model that reflects the increased maturity of the organisation and provides a solid foundation for sustainable growth.

These changes will bring the organisation of the Joomla Project in line with its mission to "provide a flexible platform for digital publishing and collaboration." The vision statement for the Joomla Project describes "People publishing and collaborating in their communities and around the world" and the goal of these changes is to facilitate this within the Joomla Project as well as for communities built using Joomla software. These changes developed from discussions at the Joomla Leadership Summit held in June of 2008. At that summit the core team and the board of Open Source Matters worked to clarify the mission of the project and to develop more flexible structures to carry out the work of the project.

CB Team has just issued a security advisory regarding obsolete CB versions 1.1 (/index.php?option=com_yanc&act=archive&task=view&cid=11&Itemid=68) (released 2 years ago) and prior. A critical vunerability has been detected and all CB 1.1 websites are potentially at risk and should be updated as soon as possible. Please download CB 1.2.1 and upgrade your CB 1.0 and 1.1 websites now! Also please make sure your sites are working off PHP version 5. PHP version 4 is also a security risk. Once again - ALL CB 1.1 (and prior) websites must be upgraded to CB 1.2.1 now! New CB 1.2.x code (released since 6 months publically, obssoleting CB 1.1) does not have that issue.

In response to overwhelming interest and requests from the Joomla community, the Joomla Project is pleased to announce the Joomla Resource Directory goes online today at resources.joomla.org. If you're a Joomla user, there's no easier way to find developers, service providers, and other valuable resources.

"We think this will be a great way to connect end-users and service providers in the Joomla Community," said Wendy Robinson of the JRD Team."Most small businesses can't afford to advertise on the Joomla.org sites and this will provide them wide exposure. With close to a million visitors and 14 million page views a month, the JED has proven that there is wide interest in products related to Joomla."

The JRD builds on the success of the JED—the most popular place to find Joomla Extensions. Both are powered by the Mosets Tree 2.1 directory extension, a GPL extension that also powers the Joomla Site Showcase.

If you're a service provider, listing in the Resource Directory is free of charge (premium listings will be offered in the future for a fee). This includes consultants, template designers, tutorial sites, and just about any other Joomla service. Users can post reviews of these services and share their experiences with the community.

The Joomla Project is excited to celebrate a remarkable benchmark in the world of open source—our 10 millionth download.

As one of the most powerful publishing platforms available, Joomla has grown exponentially since it's first release in 2005, which was downloaded just over 72,000 times from JoomlaCode. That meteoric rise in less than four years is a solid statement by the Joomla Community about how the project changes lives all over the world.

With Joomla 1.6 on the horizon, that same community is energized and excited for what the future holds. Development is underway on the next generation content management system, which will enable you, our faithful users, to achieve new heights and hopefully accomplish another 10 million downloads.

The CB Team in total agreement with the GroupJive team has taken over the GroupJive project. A detailed announcement (http://www.groupjive.org/component/content/article/8-development-news/196-future-of-groupjive) is available on the GroupJive website. The first priority of the CB Team in regards to the GroupJive extension is to fix all identified issues and reach stability. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get our bug stomping shoes on. We will be posting short progress reports as we progress.

The CB Team is proud to announce the public release of Community Builder 1.2.1Besides fixing various issues identified in CB 1.2, this CB release has totally restructured its integration with the Joomla (1.0 series) native forum Kunena 1.0.10 (also released today). The CB and Kunena teams have been in close collaboration to make this exciting new integration possible. We believe that this cooperation of these two opensource extension teams has created a very powerful combination allowing CB fields to be displayed in the forum sidebar location. Website administrators can totally alter the appearance and content of the forum sidebar adding HTML based content personalized with CB field values taken from the CB user profile of the forum poster. As CB (as of version 1.2) is Joomla native (both 1.0 and 1.5 series) and Kunena has reaffirmed its commitment to provide a Joomla 1.5 native version, we believe that the co-existence of these two opensource extensions will bring great value to both communities. CB 1.2 sites are urged to upgrade to CB 1.2.1 and take advantage of this remarkable integration. The CB Team would like to thank the Kunena team for its collaboration during this joint development period and at the same time request...

After less than 3 weeks from the release of CBSubsTM the CB Team is releasing version 1.0.1 a maintenance release with a few features. All identified issues have been corrected. Changes have been made to the CB Field/Tab Protect integration plugin, to the VirtueMart integration plugin (shopper groups now supported) and also to the Folder Protect integration plugin (fixed). There is also a new documentation package (now over 240 pages) with many use cases to help people better understand the truly remarkable power of this system.

After over 2 full years of research, development and testing the CB Team is proud to announce the public release of version 1.0 of the Community Builder Subscriptions System - CBSubsTM. We needed a social membership management and payment solution to handle our documentation subscriptions, and also donations and other products. We wanted it easy to use, fairly priced, fully automated. Well, a community memberships management solution. And of course all of that in a single, very flexible, powerful package, fully integrated with CB, Joomla and many other extensions, without any hacks. That simply didn't exist, so we decided to build our own from the ground up, using modern web-development methodology. We also decided to not only build it for ourselves, but to make it very solid so that it can be used by many busy sites for huge online communities, or real communities. Well, up to today, such a beast simply didn't exist... CBSubsTM is an extremely powerful and flexible system that will turn any CB 1.2 powered environment into a money making engine. The possibilities are endless and the application framework built into the system will allow even more features and capabilities in the near future. We are very excited with...

The Joomla Project is pleased to announce our latest undertaking to promote sites using Joomla—our new Joomla Community Showcase. The showcase is a hub for community users to share sites they've discovered or built themselves.

Launching today with just over 100 sites, the showcase has a wide range of categories—arts, education, business, sports, non-profits and more. It's designed in the same familiar layout as the Joomla Extensions Directory so users will be able to quickly find what they're looking for.

Submitting a Web Site

It's easy to submit a site for inclusion in the showcase. You'll need to register first on the showcase site and be sure to read the Guidelines for Submission before submitting. Make sure the site isn't already in the showcase by doing a search first. Not all sites will be accepted into the showcase so make sure your site meets the guidelines. Ideally, it's a site that shows off the power and extensibility of Joomla.

We also expect you to add site thumbnails (not logos) to your submission. If you only have one, that's fine. But if you have more, make sure they show off a variety of layouts—otherwise all your thumbnails will look identical.

Remember, it takes time to verify each site submission we receive so sites will not be automatically added immediately. Careful not to add too many of your own sites at once or you might be considered a spammer. We recommend you submit no more than 10 sites each month.

Site of the Month

Each month, we will highlight a Web site that demonstrates exemplary quality, flexibility, and design. If you want your site to be considered, make sure you fill out all the site information accurately and thoroughly.

Site Case Studies

While site descriptions are a general overview of the site and/or company, case studies are a way to delve deeper into the mechanics of the site, how it was built, what problems it solved, and how it fit into the overall strategy of the company. It's a way to give other Joomla users insight into the process and what extensions were used. We encourage site creators to write detailed case studies. If your site has a good case study, you'll exponentially increase your chances of being awarded the Site of the Month.

Tagging your Submissions

The showcase also has a built-in tagging system to more clearly identify site traits. Add as many tags as you want (up to 80 characters) but don't repeat tags or add redundant information.

Room to Grow

We feel that this site will grow rapidly so have started with a small number of basic site categories wth the expectation that they will become more refined and extensive over time, adpating to the needs of the community. So get started submitting Joomla sites now!
