After the release of Joomla 1.6 GA, it's just natural to have a chat with the lead developer: Andrew Eddie.

Andrew has been with the Joomla project since the Mambo days and has been leading the Production Leadership Team for some time now.

I managed to get some thoughts from him around the release of Joomla 1.6. Read on for an interview with "Mr. Joomla" where he talks about the process leading up to the release, new features, and feelings around community involvement.

Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 47.

Read on for some info on the upcoming board group of external advisors for Joomla, a lush Virtuemart webshop, some DOCMan secrets, details on the new and enhanced JED approval process, and finally, some videos featuring well-known people from the Joomla leadership.

Enjoy the read and have a great week!

Andrew Eddie, one of the original founders of Joomla and a key developer in the project, has announced through Open Source Matters (OSM) that he will resign from his position in the project.

After the release of Joomla! 1.6 GA (General Availability), Eddie will no longer be a part of the Joomla development team.
