Together with our friends from the Dutch Joomla community we are organizing our first Nooku Jam in Rotterdam, NL on the 11 of December . If you are a Joomla or PHP developer looking to learn how to build better Joomla extensions faster you don’t want to miss this.
Nooku Framework is considered by many as one of the most interesting developments in the Joomlasphere of the last year. Not only because of the spectacular code reduction (up to 80% in some cases), but also for the many features that were previously unavailable to Joomla developers:
- Near-zero-code HMVC
- REST support
- Object Relational Mapping
- Out of the box security features
- Extensibility through CoC, DI, …
And not to forget extreme re-usability: already a number of extensions are being built that can be plugged right into your own, such as user, versioning, trash and taxonomy (tagging and categories) management.
The Nooku Jam Rotterdam will take place on the 11th of December at the Brasserie Dylans from 9:30 until 17:30. Entrance is free for everyone. We have only 20 spots available, so register fast!

In July we launched the idea on the mailing list to setup a Nooku Incubator where developers can collaborate on building new an innovative Nooku Components. Over the past few months we have been making steady progress. The Nooku Incubator is being setup as we speak and will open it’s doors in the coming weeks.
In order to ensure that everyone has the same understanding of and commitment to Nooku when they choose to participate in the Nooku Incubator we have created a Nooku Contributor Agreement.
In simple terms, the Nooku Contributor Agreement states that:
- You retain the ownership of the Contribution
- You grant us a copyright license under the terms of the GNU LGPLv3/GNU GPLv3/GNU AGPLv3.
- You warrant that your Contribution doesn’t violate the rights of any third parties.
This agreement protects your copyright, and allows Nooku and it’s community to grow and mature while relying on established and balanced licensing terms.

On the 1st of October, the European leg of the Nooku team assembled at Nooku HQ in Diest, Belgium to have a week of fun and coding.
We wisely planned the first day as a general “assemble the team” day – the perils of international travel soon proved this to be a good idea with me running late getting over two borders into Belgium by car and Stian experiencing some flight rescheduling.
Our favorite thing – coding
Being a gathering of developers, the fun really started the next day when we all got to return to our favorite thing – coding. Everybody had a good stack of tickets to work down and after some basic coordination, we got cracking. This is how most of the days went, coding until we recalled that at some point you might want to grab some lunch, delayed that for a couple of hours, eventually getting some quick food, returning to work for a another set of hours, closing off with a nice dinner and falling into bed around midnight.
