Episode 15 - CMS Showdown

Wednesday, 25 March 2009 20:56

Mike's first ever guest interview with Stephen Fisher, lead designer of the Joomla team at the CMS Showdown at South by Southwest (SxSW). Steve shares how he became involved with the showdown, how well Joomla did in the competition, and how the whole thing was a win for open source. I of course declare Joomla the winner by far. Steve also shares his insight into Tamka, the hot new set of blogging tools about to hit Joomla. And of course I can't let him off the hook without giving his one big complaint about Joomla.

I also talk about Joomla Day UK, and about some big news in the Joomla world: CCK (Custom Content Kit) has arrived in two forms with Zoo and K2. In a future episode I'll dive into these two really interesting components. Download Episode 15, or stream it:

Excellent podcast. I am currently working on re-doing my community based website (running) and using Joomla. If you have any suggestions, or want to interview me feel free to contact me.

Nice round-up of the SXSW showdown.

For what it's worth, it's not true that you have to theme the Drupal theme every single time. You can set an admin theme to Garland and have a separate front-end theme.
