Reimagining content distribution in social fabric
fuqaha on Sep 22, 2011
Tagged in: updates, social networking software, release, office, news, JomSocial 2.4, event, developmentThe past few weeks have been a very productive period for us. With the release of the first JomSocial 2.4 Alpha last August, we are now gearing up to present you with Alpha 4 next Friday, 23rd September 2011. Before getting your hands dirty with the Alpha version, let us enlighten you with the experiments that we have gone through and the outcome which were later made as the principal guideline in the development of the next major iterations of JomSocial, your favourite social networking platform.
Although seemingly young in age, the analytical and statistical information that we have amassed through our demo site, internal development lab, and our experience in building up the Joomla People Portal is so ginormous that it would easily dwarf the biggest of all dwarves. The accumulated information was then put under a thoughtful scrutiny before the eyes of the JomSocial team.

Throw us a party!
Christmas is approaching, 2011 is just around the corner. We've been working hard throughout the year, and we are thinking of throwing ourselves a party to celebrate the year end.
We have been having fun all this while but a year end party is more deserving if we hit 5,000 fans before the end of the year. That's where we need your help. Show us some love and get us to the party, by sharing our page with your friends and ask them to like us. They might "Like" us if they know why you choose to like us.

JomSocial Received Merit Award at MSC APICTA 2010
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.

Sam in Da House!
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. -
