12. One Caveat…
• I speak mostly Canadian and American now.
• I don’t speak Australian very well at all.
• So if I say something that’s confusing
because of any language differences, please
talk to me later because we don’t want any
misunderstandings… :)

Joomla was the result of a fork
of Mambo on August 17, 2005.

60. SWOT Analysis
• Joomla’s Strengths are outstanding. Out of the box
its one of the best CMS’s out there.
• Many of Joomla’s Weaknesses come from its
strengths taken to an extreme
• There is significant opportunity for Joomla
• There are threats - both internal and external.
More coming at the Joomla World Conference and to
a Community Magazine article in the near future.
69. “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
76. 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. “
David Hurley
Community Development Manager - PLT
