usefull Joomla

and Content.

JoomlaCities and 
it's first site, the NYC Joomla Cities site(coming soon). 
JoomlaCities

knowledge.  As well 
as a way to give back to the Joomla Community in general.

- including 
how you can develop your new template for an existing site
on the live 
site.  This is primarily an overview of the processes
involved as well 
as the features of Joomla that make it easy to have 2
different looks 
for the same site at the same time(even with different
module 
customizations)

A last minute substitution, since we have some speakers
coming in from 
out of town, we will be bumping the Template presentation
and replacing 
it with one on designing for Joomla 1.5

Jonah Braun from the Joomla! Security Task Force will
present an 
overview of how to build a native Joomla 1.5 component using
the MVC 
method.  Good practices and common pitfalls will be
discussed.
