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!

New: See our presentations and video from event!
Just back from the JandBeyond 2011 international Joomla conference held in Kerkrade Netherlands (very close to German borders) where the CB Team attended and gave two back-to-back presentations. CB was also a gold sponsor for this wonderful gathering of Joomla professionals.
Beat and I (Nick aka nant) had also attended last year’s event, so our expectations were pretty high this time around. Well, once again, we had an awesome time! We met many Joomla professionals and Joomla team members and finally associated real faces to our skype chat sessions.
We also flew in Kyle (aka krileon) from the U.S.A. on his first ever inter-continental trip and Joomla event combination. Our two CB related presentations were met with great enthusiasm by the audience and they have been videotaped for everyone to enjoy. We will tweet the link once videos have been processed, but in the meantime you can browse through the slides used in these presentations: A Look @ Community Builder 2.0 and Community Builder Solutions and Development.
During the awesome social event at the end of day 1, the CB Team was interviewed by two wonderful ladies, Dianne and Alice, from the Joomstew radio team. This was one of the many great moments we had at the event and all three of us really enjoyed “communicating” with our CB community this way. Stay tuned to Joomstew for interview to air – we will also tweet about it when its released.
Finally, having attended many Joomla related events, I would like to give this one a five-star rating and highly recommend it for every serious Joomla advocate.

We would like to thank Dallas Moore – CEO of Viper and his entire team, and share with the community a short interview with Dallas.
