Announcing the Joomla User Group of South Florida
Posted on 11. Mar, 2009 by Rick.
Great news for us South Floridians (or Floridiots as I have heard some “northerners” say)! I, with some locals, are launching the Joomla User Group of South Florida. I can’t wait to get this rolling as I love this type of thing. Some goals include:
- Provide a friendly place for all types of users to meet-up and collaborate
- Create a community in South Florida and beyond that can offer opportunities, help, training, and more.
- A central place for people to catch up on news regarding Joomla, web design, development, SEO, and more, in the South Florida region.
- A place to get students (high-school and college) involved in web design and development.
- A place to cultivate business opportunity and business enhancement.
- To have a great time with fellow Joomla-ers…
Also, featured on the site is a community for others to join (yes, using the new JomSocial component…review article coming too). So come on and join up!
Don’t forget to register for the Joomla template classes I’m teaching in Miami and Atlanta this year!

Today I am releasing the ALPHA version of the Joomla Textmate Bundle (also compatible with e-texteditor for windows). It features quick snippets for template building and extension building (watch the video to see some of the shortcuts in action).
