A jquery snippet to test window height

Written by Anthony Olsen

Open sourcing leadership lessons learned at Open Source Days 2011

Written by Ryan Ozimek

I look back at the Joomla project's more than five years of history as something that could be the makings  of either a great book or at minimum a documentary on success and challenges in open source leadership.   We've been through it all, the highs and lows, and we continue to keep moving forward.

That ole devil called CCK

Written by Joss Sanglier

Anyone who knows me, knows I have loyalty issues. I own a digital camera, a nice Nikon, but I use a 35mm  SLR when I am bored. I am a serious cook who can toss 20 pancakes in a row without dropping one and chop  and onion is record time, but I like non stick pans. I am devoted to Joomla, yet my blog is wordpress.

Design Inspiration - Phase 2

Written by Anthony Olsen

While it might seem strange to feature a site that specialises in using Drupal on this blog, I just cant go past the way this site has been implemented.
