Support Slowdown during New Lunar Year Celebration

Tagged in: support, site updates, open source community software, office, announcement
The JomSocial Team will be observing the New Lunar Year / Chinese New Year celebration which falls on Monday, 23rd January 2012 until Tuesday, 24th January 2012. There will be a delay in support delivery starting this weekend until the abovementioned date.
The New Lunar Year is celebrated throughout Asia in countries with significant Chinese populations. In Malaysia, it is considered a major holiday and is celebrated by all of us irregardless of race and religion. Traditionally the family members roll up their sleeves to clean up the house to remove ill-fortunes and to make way for new luck. Family members will look forward to a family dinner feast which is organized on the Eve of New year while kids will be most gleeful the morning after, by getting pocketful of 'Ang-Pows'; money in red paper envelopes. In Malaysia, the celebration evolved into a colorful and elaborate maze of open-houses and nation-wide festivities. I personally cant wait to get my hands on those delicious, home-cooked dimsums. They are best when prepared with a bucketful of love. :) -
Thank you, Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs has touched each of lives in one way or another. Be it your kids (Pixar anyone?). Be it your gadgets (Iphone, Ipad, Ipod). Steve Jobs has revolutionized the way we use computers. And yes even in JomSocial.

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.

Welcome to the new team members
JomSocial has always room to expand. This time, we have three new experienced members to join our team. In total, we have 26 people, both part timers working around the clock and full time team members working in the office. We would like to welcome Izuddin (front end developer), Fuqaha (customer support/customer experience specialist) and Amer (web developer). Each of them will be paired with an older member of the JomSocial team to get them started on the project.

Farewell my dear friends!
It has been a while since I wrote a blog here because I was quite tied up with the development and support. When I initially joined the company, it was a pretty small development firm back in 2007. Slowly, it grew into a large team consisting of over 20 people. I am really happy to see such progress and looking at the growth of JomSocial since it's initial birth really gives me a great feeling of satisfaction. I have seen the ups and downs of the software but I must say that you guys are super amazing and wonderful customers! Never have I seen such great spirit, really!
Just like every plot, there is a happy ending to it. I am sad to say that I will be moving on and will be leaving the ever so wonderful team of JomSocial and Sookachat :(
This will be my final blog entry contributed in JomSocial's journal and I am very grateful to know and meet every single one of you. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone if there are mistakes done on my end, or if I may have caused any dissatisfaction whilst I was here.
I guess some of you might be confused on how the development path might go on, not to worry of course, ROME wasn't built in a day and of course it isn't built by a single person. There are a huge number of great developers , moderators which will still be serving you, Jewei , Fazli , Neil , fuqaha , Lars , Brandon , John Gybels , Kai , Dimas , Johnny and so many others. They will still be regularly attending to your issues and I am very sure that they will perform their duty spectacularly!
To all customers, Thank you once again for all your great support and keep the spirit burning!
To the entire JomSocial team, Thank you very much for your great hospitality here!All the best in pursuing all your social networking needs with JomSocial!
