22 June 2011, Joomlapolis has just registered its 400,000th member!
Our fantastic community has been constantly growing and its times like this that we must sit back and take a closer look at what we have accomplished. And, of course, give thanks to everyone involved, no matter how small or large the contribution is perceived.
It’s not only the membership count. We need to consider the huge popularity Community Builder has earned over the years. CB has consistently been one of the most popular Joomla extensions and we estimate between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 CB installations with over 60,000,000 – 100,000,000 public profiles (base: Google search)! These numbers are truly awesome! And the fact that CB has remained stable and secure throughout its versions and all of the Mambo and Joomla versions is another great achievement in itself!
Who shall we give thanks to?
Well, for starters, we need to take our hats off to Joomla for its inspiration and good will pushing forward what is clearly the easiest open-source content management system around today.
The CB Team has been giving back to the Joomla project in many ways. As individuals contributing time towards tracker items, reporting, code fixes, magazine articles, etc. And as a project by sponsoring many Joomla related events over the years. And today, as another token of our sincere appreciation, Joomlapolis has donated $400 in honor of our 400K members to the Joomla project. THANK YOU JOOMLA!
We need to thank our community and this means YOU. You, the user, the forum poster, the Advanced member, the Professional member, the template purchaser, the CBSubs user, the tester, the language translator, the complainer, the reviewer (yes we read them, so please keep them coming!), the silent observer – each and every one of YOU has contributed to this huge success. THANK YOU!
And we need to thank our core team members (Beat, Nick and Kyle) for their patience and perseverance and most of all their understanding that beyond the fame and glory things need to stay fun and peaceful.
So, in true Joomlapolitan tradition, we are launching a week-long celebration with nice discounts and daily FREE gifts from Joomlapolis and from our third party friends! Take a peek at your personal profile coupon booklet and see our offerings and those of our friends. During the week-long celebration period, visit your coupon book every day as the Joomlapolis FREE GIFT will be changing each day! Many great products and services (extensions, CB plugins, templates, training, books, etc.) are being offered to YOU, our Joomlapolis member, at great discounts of up to 40%!

Living in a country like Greece, I seldom have the opportunity to promote Joomla and Community Builder in my native language and I honestly miss this. So when the JoomlaDay Greece 2011 project was announced the CB Team was proud to sponsor the event financially and participate with two presentations during the two day conference.
Once again the Greek people proved that when motivated they can accomplish anything and in record time. I believe the entire project was organized from start to finish within 45 days and there were over 650 registrations! Reminds me of the 2004 Athens Olympics where the Greek people – contrary to public international criticism proved that they could and did organize the best Olympic games every!
The 2 day Joomla Day Greece event was awesome. The venue was fantastic – two excellent Cinema amphitheatrically (Greek word btw) situated rooms with state of the art acoustic support and high definition enormous projection screens made viewing and presenting effortless and extremely enjoyable.
Our International speakers: Ryan Ozimek (President OSM), Johan Janssens (Nooku), Theo van der Zee (FinishJoomla), Alex Kempkens (JoomFish) and Max Milbers (Virtuemart) gave the event the prestige it needed and even though almost everyone (only one registration claimed otherwise) attending knew English it was the many top notch native language speakers that gave the local color needed in order to truly promote Joomla to the Greek audience.
And of course Greek hospitality scored many points with the international speakers and the Greek cuisine also with a highlight second night dinner under the Acropolis. Everyone renewed their commitment to participate again next year to further promote Joomla in Greece!
I would personally like to thank and congratulate the organizers, the sponsors, the speakers and the participants for a well done job. It looks like the open source culture is in line with the Greek mentality and community and we will see more great projects popping up from Greek developers. I am proud to have been associated with this effort and I am very grateful that Joomlapolis helped sponsor this – THANK YOU!
