Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 25.
There's a very interesting post by Gary J. Brooks about the challenges with getting demo.joomla.org to work smoothly. Ryan Ozimek talks about new OSM leadership positions and the people assigned to them, there's a post on mobile Joomla sites, and Brian Teeman continues his series on "The Joomla World Cup" with a post about the Joomla powered site for the city of Johannesburg, to mention some of the post found this week.
Enjoy!
