The roots for CMS Expo run deep with Joomla!. If you're looking for experts representing the Joomla! open source community, this is the place to be. I've been looking forward to this presentation on Molajo which follows a Tour Joomla! presentation I've also been watching. I'm here not only because of the impressive speakers, Jen Kramer and Amy Stephen, but also because I sense that Molajo offers something new and different for the Joomla! community.
Molajo means from Joomla! - it's name is created from the letters of the Joomla! name. In much the same manner, Molajo is a distribution created from the powerful and flexible Joomla! 1.6 application framework. In the future, it is anticipated many Molajo distributions will be shared, each crafted for different vertical markets.
Amy Stephen is speaking in the session. Her first emphasis is that there are a number of Jommla! members, including Joomla Elders, that have been involved or consulted with this project. The idea of a distribution in Joomla! is a rather new concept but there are already distributions in the wild. For instance Nooku Server is a multi-site distribution of Joomla! 1.5.
Some notable impressions I'm getting from this session include:
