This was a fun project to work on. No boundaries set.

The Safety Routine is a new local rock band and at the time the project was initiated the band had no marketing materials I could use from which to brand the site.

They did have a logo which was created by one of the band's members. I used that as a starting point and created the site around it as well as the band's style. I knew I was using Joomla! and that gave me an edge.

This project's layout is one of my favorites.

The latest JUGT pub night was held on April 22nd at Hemingway's (Yorkville).

It was a fun night with lots of Joomla info exchanged among the members who participated.
Even though I have been using Joomla since its inception it was my first time attending a pub night and it certainly won't be my last. I certainly had a blast!!

This Pub Night was held on May 20th at Hemingway's and we had another great turn out! The evening was a great mix of both new and familiar faces.

For those who participated, thank you for the great conversation around the table. We hope to see you all (and any friends you can persuade to come with you) again next month.

The June Pub Night took was held on the 17th at the Frog and Firkin. We had fewer members than initially expected, probably due to the rainy weather, but it was still fun and productive! We thank all who braved the rain and wind from as far as Stouffville to participate on last night’s event.

JUGT's latest Pub Night took place at Hemingway's (Yorkville) on July 22nd and was another success! It is becoming clear that Hemingway's is our "home" as we have had the best attended meetings there so far. We got a nice spot on the patio and with the new signage on the tables we attracted attention from patrons who did not know about Joomla!, became intrigued about the logo and initiated conversations with us, which was exactly what we needed to spread some Joomla! love around. Some of us were wearing the Joomla! apparel and that also attracted attention of patrons who knew about Joomla! but didn't know about the JUGT meetings.

It had been a while since I last attended the meetings and I was extremely happy to be back on such an important date for the group.

The Joomla! User Group Toronto celebrated its first anniversary on January 20th at Scruffy Murphy's Etobicoke location and the attendance was great. Lots of known and new faces.

I am happy to introduce my new site, FlahDesign.

It was a long year, with many delays but it has finally reached a stage where I can feel comfortable releasing it.
