Ever wondered what ‘Joomla’ means? Here is the definition from part of Joomla, Open Source Matters:

“The name Joomla! is a phonetic spelling for the Swahili word “Jumla”, which means “all together” or “as a whole”. It was chosen as the entire team behind Mambo was unanimous in their commitment to protecting the interests of the project and community.

This name was chosen from thousands of recommendations by the community, and even went through an arduous review session by branding and marketing professionals who also felt that Joomla! was the best choice of the lot.”

Perhaps you are a non-coder, you installed Joomla! on your server using Fantastico with all the default Joomla content, your site works and you are a happy bunny!

2009 is the time for me to ‘give back’ and I can reveal that from March 2009, LVS Online will offer a new course – Joomla! Fast Track. LVS Online – where learning is fun!
