We are throwing a little challenge to Malaysian student designers. We want students to share with us how they think the next generation social networking site should look like!
Tell us how you think social networking site users should share their pictures, videos, friend list, updates and even how they should communicate with their friends. If you have more ideas of a comprehensive look, you can submit more than one design into a single submission. Be creative, your design can look totally different from what we have now. You can provide a unique design for each activity where for example, the design for photo sharing is different from video sharing.

MSC Apicta 2010 award presentation ceremony was held yesterday at Hilton Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. If you're wondering, Apicta stands for "Asia Pacific ICT Alliance" . In short, it is one of the most prestigious ICT awards in this side of the world, even more so in Malaysia where we are based on.
JomSocial was one of the finalist in the "e-Inclusion and e-Community" category. Meriza and I was there, representing JomSocial team. I have to give it to the organizer, they do know how to keep the event tense and exciting (with tacky background music!). Although I am generally indifference to most awards (I am more concern getting awards from YOU, our users!), it is exciting to watch the winner announced one by one from the 17 available categories.

Email is most probably older than Internet but as with Internet, it is still highly relevant today. Now, there are a lot of tools that might supersede email such as Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites that makes email look archaic. However, as old as it may seem, email is still a powerful communication tool. As an open source community software user, it will be even more useful.

Last Friday, we had the honor of having one of the Joomla! core developer, Sam Moffatt in our office. He spent a couple of hours with JomSocial team and gave us some personal insights into the upcoming Joomla! 1.6.
I can tell you that we are pretty excited with Joomla! 1.6 and what it offers. As far as JomSocial is concerned, we will certainly make our code runs smoothly with Joomla! 1.6, making JomSocial the best open source social networking software for Joomla! 1.6. Work on this has already begun and in fact other than some plugin issues, we are almost good to go.
