We are back from our yearly Joomla fix at JandBeyond 2012 and still recovering from the great presentations and the fantastic discussions with our Joomla peers.

There are many online references to the #jab12 happenings that you can visit to read, see and listen to. Yes, this years event really rocked and rolled (see if you can spot Beat in this one).

While we are waiting for the video production process of all the presentations (currently in progress - thank you Jeremy Wilken) - courtesy of the Joomlapolis Video sponsorship - we have to share two important happenings that make us very excited about the future of Joomla and of Community Builder.

The first very important happening is the decision of Joomla UI (user interface) to use BootStrap as part of its Joomla 3.0 planned release later this year. This is a great opportunity for Joomla and its third-party extensions (that also choose to use Bootstrap) to get a nice, light-weight and clean user interface look.

The CB Team and many other third-party extension teams (e.g., Kunena) have decided to also adopt the Boostrap concept. The unified user interface concept will help Joomla users as they will see a familiar set of interface controls in Joomla and in its extensions. Once again, Community Builder 2.0 will use Bootstrap.

The second exciting happening is the official annoucement of the AHA?WOW! new specification language that will be used in CB 2.0. Five (5) years of internal research have given birth to this bold new development concept already used and thoroughly tested in CBSubs. See the slides and watch Beat's lightning talk video.

Joomlapolis is proud to support this year's J and Beyond 2012 event as a Video Sponsor. This way the Joomla magic will be recorded and shared with millions of world-wide Joomla lovers that cannot make it to Bad Nauheim, Germany this May (18th - 20th).

Watching post event videos are good, but there is nothing like physically attending and meeting in person and face-to-face. The most interseting and hottest happenings usually occur between sessions over a cup of coffee or afterwards with a beer at hand. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately - lol) these side events are not videotaped.

If you must pick a single Joomla event to attend, then JandBeyond is the one! It is by far the most prestigious Joomla gathering ever. Joomlapolis has been sponsoring this conference since its inception because we believe it's simply the best Joomla event. This is the place to meet Joomla leadership, third party developers and well known Joomla fanatics and discuss Joomla and only Joomla.

If you have not purchased your tickets yet and have the opportunity to attend, then you should purchase your ticket now (before April 1st) to save 50 EUR off regular ticket price.

Beat and Nick (aka nant) will be attending this year and would love to meet all Community Builders attendees and have our own CB Users Group gathering (reply to discussion thread below if you are attending).

Even if you cannot attend this years conference, you can participate by casting your nominations for this years J.O.S.C.A.R.s. Remeber to nominate Community Builder for the Free Joomla Add-ons award category.

If you cannot attend then standby for the video recordings Joomlapolis is sponsoring so you can at least view the great presentations. If you are attending let us know so we can organize a nice gahering to discuss Community Builder topics.
