The Nooku Manifesto
The Nooku Manifesto is a constant guideline through the development and growth of the Nooku Project. Hours of discussions, years of experience and much consideration went into outlining it. If you are interested to get involved in the Nooku community, please take a moment to read it.
A project for developers
Nooku is a project for developers, integrators and hackers alike. Through collaboration we innovate and grow Nooku. We prefer to differentiate our products while working on the same common over competing with each other.
Nooku is not a product. We don’t try to solve user problems. Our goal is to make it easier for developers to create more powerful products, help them increase their productivity. Each individually we turn Nooku’s raw code into end-user products based on market strategies and business models of our choosing.

Nooku Desktop, web meets desktop
We are moving towards a new era dominated by Web Apps instead of web sites. Web applications are moving out of the browser and onto the desktop. On top of that, tablets and other mobile devices are changing our world and the way we build web applications.
A new era is upon us requiring new technologies and a different approach to building web applications. With Nooku Desktop, we have taken our first step towards making that happen.
Free your apps from the browser
Nooku Desktop is a cross-platform desktop application that lets you easily manage your Nooku Server sites with a simple and easy to use interface.
Nooku Desktop is joining our Nooku Platform empowering developers to create multi-site web applications and making them available as a native desktop application requiring nothing more than existing web skills like Javascript, HTML, CSS and PHP.
Announcing the first Nooku Party
Joomla and the Knight of Open Source are putting up camp in Kerkrade, Netherlands on the 6-8 May for the second edition of J! And Beyond.
J! And Beyond is an community driven International Joomla Conference, which grew out of the vibrant community site All Together As A Whole. We’re proud that Nooku is once again sponsoring. This is the Joomla community event of the year, you don’t want to miss it!
Throwing a party
On of the things that made the first edition so special was the great atmosphere and camaraderie by all attendees. With a very international crowed coming to J and Beyond 2011 we thought it to be great to throw a little pre-event party on Thursday 5 May so that everyone could get the know each other in person before diving in on the 6th.
We could just all meetup in the bar or go to a restaurant. We wouldn’t be Nooku if we didn’t try to organise something, well a little bit more special. So … we are going skiing!
The State of Nooku 2011
Past weekend, the Nooku Team was at the Dutch Joomladays, as both sponsors and speakers. The event sold completely out. Two days with 200 attendees each, that’s a lot of interesting people to meet. Very positive vibe and and superb organisation, one of the best Joomladays I ever attended. A big congrats to everyone who helped to make this happen.
We have a tradition of showing something new each year at the Dutch Joomladays, so Tom and myself were very proud to officially announce our Nooku Platform and present our second State of Nooku.
Ladies and gentleman, this is Mambo 5
As we tweeted a few days ago we are preparing a major announcement.
Nooku HQ is buzzing with activity. We are super excited about our announcement for#jd11nl. Changing everything, again !#innovation #joomla (source)
Unfortunately the news got leaked today on the website of the Joomladay.de, by an unnamed source, forcing us to announce earlier then planned. We are forking Joomla, creating a new CMS called Mambo 5 (codename: Lou Bega)
The fork is a joint effort between the German Joomla and Nooku communities and the Mambo Foundation. We have been collaborating due-diligently since the beginning of 2011.
Mambo 5 is a dream of group of passionate open source professionals, developers and hackers. We’re building our dream, for us and for you!
