It was great having everyone from the core and foundation meeting together.  Thanks to everyone for making this possible, and here's to a bright future.

Cheers,
Ryan

I just wanted to say that all of the updates and disclosures about the activities, thought processes and decision-making as conducted by the Joomla! core team is very much appreciated.  You guys and gals seem to be doing a great job of keeping everyone informed while not putting out halfway-thought-through messages that could disrupt the Joomla! community.

Thank you for the timely updates and for your continued hard work!

I second that, I had no dealings with David or Emir but Rey helped me several times when Mambo stopped and Joomla started. Good luck to you all.

Rey - for those of us who started early on with Joomla! - you *were* Joomla!, very helpful, available, always teaching and patiently answering our questions. Your efforts will always be appreciated and remembered. David and Emir thanks to you both, as well. I know you were very involved in the development and efforts.

Congratulations to the Joomla! community and thanks to Johan, Louis and Shayne for your willingness to lead!

Amy :)

Agreed.  Many thanks to Emir, David and Rey.  Individually they have all done more than their fair share of work.  In particular, as a collective they were part of the formidable team which forged ahead in the first twelve months.  Tough months.

Thank you all so much for your contributions.

Pete

Good luck and Best Wishes guys! 
It's a long time since our first conversation Emir (if I remember it was along the lines of "this new fangled SEF function in 4.5 has broken my site"  :laugh:) and, Rey, what can I say - I feel I have known you forever.
I hope the future treats you well and that you have loads of fun to fill up all this spare time you will now be getting.

So, from me and Nic - farewell and good luck, and on behalf of the Mambo Team, thanks for all you have done for Mambo in the past.

Hi,

Thanks Johan, for posting the report on the summit. A big thanks to Emir, David and Rey for contributing to the project. Specially to Rey, for helping me setup Q&T while I was still a Core member, and for all the hard work on the 1.0.x releases!

Thanks to David, Rey and Emir.

Rey, you were an inspiration well back beyond in the Mambo days, thanks for all you did.  I've got a 4.5.0.-1.0.9 site still running some of your stuff.

Sheesh are we all getting old?

Joomla is Disneyland, some important members leave the project, and everybody loves everybody, marvellous...


By the way, could we, the community, have inforrmations ( I mean REAL informations of what have been discussed during this summit and not about the weather&food at the google party) .... or this core team is defenitively a black box for the community ?

I presume you have not yet read all the blog posts that discussed most of this.. you may wish to see: http://www.joomla.org/component/option, ... temid,105/

Thanks for the positive comments and continued support of the project. :)

BTW Disneyland is in Los Angeles. We were in San Francisco which is about 6 hrs drive away, not that I would have even been interested in Disneyland anyway...

Epsylon -

Do you have a particular question? Personally, I have a hard time keeping up with what seems to me to be an enormous flow of information from this project. It's difficult to know for certain what you mean by "REAL informations." If you articulate a specific question, I am confident you will get a response!
Also, try a more friendly approach. Typically, that yields better results.  ;)
Amy :)

Tipycally I've asked it before, making comments in the developpers's blog... anyway ...

I just like to know what they have precisely discussed about, what decisions have been taken for the future monts .. etc .. How can I ask a particular question, when we don't know what this summit was finaly about  ;) I've spent hours and hours translating Joomla! in my own language, french, and this is really disappointing to see how this project is leaded. At the very start of Joomla! they(core team)  tried to communicate more directly with the community with a chat, it was abandonned and this was a big mistake.

You need more feedbacks, but we need it too !

Epsylon -

The team blog has several reports from the core team members who work with various work groups that outline discussion topics for development, testing, documentation, forum administration, and the foundation groups. Each group blogged on it. Plus, I was glad to hear them say they plan monthly status updates via the team blog for each working group. So, hopefully, that will be helpful to everyone.

BTW - when you say "chat" - do you mean an IRC? You would like to see more IRC chats? The last IRC I remember turned out poorly. There were not many who participated and it ended up being a chance for new Joomla! users to ask basic questions of the developers that would have been easily handled by forum volunteers. But, if you want another IRC (if that's what you meant), you might want to ask in this thread where the last one was scheduled.

We all get frustrated from time to time, that's understandable. I appreciate your work translating Joomla! to French. Thanks!
Amy :)

How can we thank David, Rey and Emir enough for their work getting us this far? In particular, I think that Rey deserves a LOT of credit for the millions of hours he has spent debugging this code that we take for granted. I remember looking through changelogs and continuing to be amazed with every release at how many commits Rey has made over the past few years.

Unbelievable dedication to a single project that has benefited so many millions of people. Thanks for your time, sweat, level-headedness, coding insights and overall love of open source projects like Joomla. We can only hope to progress in the great directions that you three have sent us.
