Joomlashack has released our latest Joomla template - JS Vintage! 

Vintage might be a good match for a coffee shop, cafe, wine shop, antique shop, bookstore,  record store, a writer's community, or maybe even a personal blog. At first glance, Vintage looks a little basic, but this 15 module position, pure CSS template is deceptively simple.

I recently came across an excellent resource that would be worth your bookmark - a great collection of open source resources from Design Vitality. 

The next generation of open source content management, Joomla 1.5 is now available as a Release Candidate. This takes it one step closer to being a stable release.

Over the weekend I was surprised to see a very public blog post about me at Joomla.org by Louis Landry regarding an email I sent to somebody.

Last week Louis Landry of the Joomla project made an interesting post on the dev blog called Fighting the Stupids.

I thought I would pick up on his theme and highlight a recent discussion that has been developing with regards to the core team/s recent stricter interpretation of the GPL and the hugely popular forum used in Joomla websites, the Simple Machines Forum (SMF)

Here at Compass, I have been doing my best to keep up to date with the decision of the Joomla core team to make a strict interpretation of Joomla's license under the GPL.

There have been a few interesting developments over the last few weeks that I thought might be worth sharing.
