description:

   Joomla is a content management system (CMS), which enables you to build
   multi-user Web sites quickly. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use
   and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular free and open
   source Web site software available. Joomla, which operates on top of a
   LAMP stack (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP-perl), is designed to be easy to
   install and set up even if you're not an advanced user. Many Web hosting
   services offer a single-click install, getting your new site up and
   running in just a few minutes. If your clients need specialized
   functionality, Joomla is highly extensible and thousands of extensions
   (most for free under the GPL license) are available in the Joomla
   Extensions Directory .

   "In the talk, Doug Bierer, founder of unlikelysource.com, which
   maintains an open source Joomla extension, will cover:
   - what is Joomla and why it may be useful to you
   - rapid website development using Joomla
   - expanding beyond the core by installing extensions
   - how you can write your own Joomla modules
