Robert Deutz mostly harmless

Sometimes it takes a little bit longer. For this Blog it is true in two ways:

• My last post is more than 6 months old. Apologies for the silence 
• I had a component 80% ready to publish, but I didn't have the time to make it ready.

For the second issue I found the time and the blog post about my new component com_cron is practically finished, if you read this post.

Writing about the first issue is a longer story. My last post was an "Open Letter to the community" asking for help to make an international conference about Joomla! It is impossible not to hear about "JandBeyond an international Joomla! conference" we had at the end of May here in Germany with around 180 attendees from 27 different countries. It was such a huge success and it was so much work that I didn't have the time to write here about what is going on. In the meantime I was elected as Open Source Matters Board Member, I am now the event team leader (some more information about my views about this position here in the Joomla Magazine) and my company is doing well. Life is good!!

I know the next post will come in a couple of minutes and I hope that the post after the next will not take so much time.
