Joomla! lead developer Johan Janssens announced the official Joomla! 1.5 Beta release date at the German Joomla! Day in Bonn. The announcement marks the most significant milestone in Joomla's short history. "We've decided to release on the 12th of October - exactly one year since we wrote our first line of Joomla! code" "The coding effort by the 1.5 dev team has been amazing," he added. "We have built this release from the ground up ... this represents 127,000 lines of code and had this been a commercial venture, about 32 man years of effort equivalent to $1.7 million in wages." Looks like Joomla.org got some insipration from the blog post I made last week about the value of open source projects like Joomla. If you think this is a good story, Digg it!! |
