I work for a Ipswich construction company in their IT dept looking after anything IT.

In my spare time I am a volunteer and the website adminstrator for www.teech.org - a UK charity helping some of the poorest parts of Eastern Europe. The website is a on-going project and I would like to eventually remove most of the "Joomla Feel" to the website just to make it look more unique.

If you are looking after a charity website please get in touch to trade stories/secrets & website links.

Joomla is a hobby and I am no expert!

Hi Chris,

Great to see you here - are you able to come to the meeting on Tuesday?  Apologies for the short notice, as usual things in life got busy and we've only just got around to publicising it!

Would be great to have you come along, I'm even toying with the idea of doing a short presentation if we get enough people along!

Don't worry about not being a Joomla expert - I actually don't like that term because it implies you know everything, and with Joomla! I'm learning something new every day!

I really enjoyed it. Everytime I speak to friends and work colleagues about Joomla they just glaze over so its was great to talk to people who "get joomla"!

I have 60 views - even more popular than Ruth!

:O)

I know the feeling about J! Glaze, so was good to talk with like minded people yesterday evening.

Looking forward to the next one.

Ahh yes, I know that feeling only too well!  The other thing I have is when I've managed to figure out some complex sql query or make a really difficult equation calculate something properly and get excited, then my non-geeky colleagues insist on knowing why I'm so excited.

They have now taken to saying "You've done something geeky again haven't you!" LOL
