In November 2011, OSM proposed a 2012 goal setting and budget planning process. The purpose of the process was twofold: to help the leadership teams clarify their goals and objectives, and to provide the community with an opportunity to give feedback.
After publishing a list of goal ideas and receiving feedback from the community, OSM agreed on the following four top goals for 2012:
Goal #1: Simplify Trademark rules and team processes
Launch Trademark implementation of Help Desk software (September 2012)
Publish simplified Trademark rules and processes (December 2012)

In the last 2 weeks two important Joomla upgrades have been released. Together, version 2.5.5 and 2.5.6 address 125 issues from the bug tracker, adds 11 new features and patches two security issues. The security issues consist of a medium priority privilege escalation and a low priority information disclosure. Of the new features, two are notable for most end users.
Joomla upgrade adds ability to change username
First is the ability to control whether or not a user can change their username when editing their profile in the frontend. As you can see below, there is now an option in the User Manager to explicitly allow or disable feature depending on the needs of the site.
