Recently held in San Francisco Joomla! Day West 2007 was a great way for about 100 people to acquire new information on Joomla 1.5 and a great way to hook-up with Joomla resources.

Here are some of my thoughts after the unconference:

Allen Gunn flawlessly moderated the unconference.

iJoomla is a private company that creates Joomla modules. iJoomla products look terrific. Merav Knafo, the founder has tremendous commitment to her products and customers.

Ron Severdia sharedPlayShakespear.com. Wow, he is an awesome presenter.

The unconference gave us the opportunity to see some cool publications and tools:

We were introduced to Joomla 1.5 which sounds marvelous, CiviCRM a plugin for managing relationships, and Andy from Rocketheme gave us the "skinny" on templates.
