Final Call for CiviCRM / Joomla Developers at Joomla Dev Camp, NY, Dec 5-6

Worried that CiviCRM integration with Joomla is not keeping pace with Drupal? Wanna take CiviCRM / Joomla integration to the next level? Want better permissioning support for CiviCRM in Joomla? Want more front end exposure of CiviCRM in Joomla? If you want any (or all of the above), then do attend the Joomla Develoepr Conference in New York from Dec 5 - 7. We definitely need more participation and support from the CiviCRM/Joomla Developer community to help bridge the gap and strengthen the integration. This is a great time and moment for CiviCRM/Joomla to take the next leap forward. Details and event registration are found here: http://opensourcematters.org/devconferenceinformation.html (note the reg form uses Civi for event info/registration!). We are looking to put together a team of Joomla+CiviCRM developers to attend and work together at the camp. We currently have 2 confirmed developers attending the camp, and need at least 2-3 more developers to make progress on any of the above topics. You have to be experienced with PHP and be familiar with the internals of CiviCRM or Joomla to help out. For those of you who are non-programmers, encourage / sponsor / coerce your local programmer / consultant / development partner to attend the conference Some potential projects we can work on are:

• Improve the upgrade process and simplify the install process
• Expose CiviCRM ACL's to Joomla
• Integrate the Joomla/CiviCRM GSoC project into CiviCRM v3.2 (exposing more Civi data to front end components)
