Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 39.

There's a really nice post about Joomla 1.6 caching and Brian Teeman talks about meetups at Joomla!Days and about the spending of Open Source Matters funds.

The October issue of the Joomla! Community Magazine is out, and PC World talks about eBay using Joomla, just to mention some of the notable posts from this week.

Have a great week!

Last night, the Joomla project announced the immediate availability of Joomla 1.6 beta 11 (download). IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a beta version and is not intended to run any type of production site. It is intended to be used for evaluation purposes only.

Since the Joomla 1.6 beta 10 release on September 20, the team has fixed approximately 21 issues in the tracker. They have closed an additional 33 tracker issues. This progress is directly related to the continued efforts of the Joomla! Bug Squad.

Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us one increment closer to stable! Read on for complete changelog for Joomla 1.6 beta 11.

The publishing house Addison-Wesley Professional today announced the launch of two forthcoming Joomla books.

The Official Joomla! Book and Joomla! Explained: Your Step-by-Step Guide. Both titles are designed for end-users and administrators utilizing Joomla – the free, open source content management system – to develop a web presence.

Written by Joomla experts, the books provide a useful, well-written, and engaging platform for all segments of the Joomla community, from beginners to more advanced developers. Pearson made the announcement to coincide with Joomla Day USA West 2010 being held on the eBay/PayPal North campus in San Jose, Calif. today through Sunday, Oct. 3.

As I mentioned a few days ago, there was going to be a big announcement for Joomla today. eBay announced earlier today that the company is going to use Joomla, the world's largest open source content management system (CMS). Joomla will be used for its thousands of employees to share information in its community portal. It might not be as big as it seemed at first, but I believe it's still a really good thing for Joomla.

The "Community Analytics" program will enable eBay's 16,400 employees to source and analyze massive amounts of data to power ideas and learning across the company.

In exchange, eBay will contribute its experiences by becoming part of the Joomla open source community

Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 38.

There is a look at what happened in the Joomla project during 5 days in October five years ago. There is also a post on the TapTheme Android Joomla template concept.

You also get some posts on the redesign of Joomla.org, as well as a post on a new Palm site using Joomla and a status report the Joomla 1.6 development and upcoming release.

Enjoy the read and have a great week!

According to a recent press release, attendees at Joomla Day West USA will be the first to know about the latest developlment of the Joomla project.

The conference will be held on the eBay/PayPal North campus in San Jose, Calif., Oct. 1 through 3, 2010, and will provide open discussions and interactive sessions about the Joomla CMS.

Although the press release issued on September 22nd was a bit cryptic, it seems there is a big announcement coming. And as far as I understand, a positive one involving a large company.
