The Joomla Dilemma
The Joomla Project is our tree of life. We feed of it’s fruits. In order to allow it to produce and grow it requires our continuous nurturing. If not, Joomla will die.
In my keynote at the Joomladay Greece I addressed the dilemma between project and product, while Joomla as a product is growing and is used on 2.5% of all websites on the internet, Joomla is failing as an open source project.
Finding a healthy balance between project and product will be key to continued succes.
