Joomla! is more than just a CMS - it’s a global open-source project powered by a community of volunteers. But how does the project actually work behind the scenes?

In this session, we’ll take a look inside the Joomla! project: how decisions are made, how releases happen, and how the many different teams collaborate to keep the CMS moving forward.

You’ll learn about the structure of the project, the roles of the various working groups and leadership teams, and how ideas turn into real features in Joomla. We’ll also explore how the community contributes through development, documentation, testing, marketing, events, and more.

Whether you’re simply curious about how Joomla operates or you’re thinking about getting involved yourself, this session will help you understand how the project works - and where you can fit in.

    To be honest, I’ve never been to a Joomla World Conference before. I have been to local Joomla events, both in the Netherlands and Germany. You always leave with more knowledge than you came in with. But for me, that is not the most important thing (anymore). It’s the people. Meeting friends you’ve only seen online, making new connections… that’s why I’m really looking forward to this conference.
