Impressions from Nooku Jam Leuven
The recent Nooku Jam Leuven can be easily summed up in 2 words – incredibly inspiring!
Twenty six attendees discussed, collaborated and shared ideas on the 26th and 27th of November at the FlandersDC Creativity Lab in Leuven, Belgium. The Jam, sponsored by Moyoweb, Beyounic and Timble, was an inspiring weekend for the Nooku community.
The recipe : great ideas, creative people, lots of food and Belgian beer and an inspiring venue! Check the photostream of David Deutsch for the evidence of the inspiring weekend.
Looking Back
One of the rules of the Nooku Jam is : “You blog about the Jam” and that’s exactly what some of the jammers did.
The Nooku Jam comes home to Belgium!
The biggest Nooku Jam of the year is happening this weekend in Belgium. With the theme “Creativity, Innovation and Inspiration”, the Nooku jam is coming home (technically a few miles from Nooku HQ). Nooku Jam Leuven brings Nookuers from all over.
Everyone who signed up for the Nooku Jam Leuven in the FlandersDC Creativity Lab will be treated to a day of intense presentations, discussions, brainstorms, workshops, and hackathons around specific areas of the Nooku project.
Dissecting the Nooku Jam
There always seems to be a Nooku Jam event in some part of the world. We have had Nooku Jams in three continents the past year! So what exactly happens in a jam?
A Nooku Jam is an open, participatory workshop-event, whose content is provided by participants. The concept is very similar to a barcamp.
A Nooku November
It happened in September, and it is going to happen again next month – the Nooku flag is up in two continents in November! Nooku finds its way back to Asia and is going back to its roots in Belgium! Presenting the second Nooku Jam Manila and the first Nooku Jam Leuven.
Manila – Philippines
Following a very successful Nooku Jam Manila in 2010, Johan is back to give developers another whirlwind experience with the Nooku Framework. Israel and Myra, Timble’s Manila team, will also be around to help facilitate the event.
Nooku Jam Manila will be held on Friday, November 4, 2011 at the Exist TechBar in Ortigas, Metro Manila. If you are a passionate Joomla/PHP developer, join us for a day of technology, hacking and fun. And the hard work will pay off at the after party at the end of the day to start the celebrations for a great Nooku year.
The techbar can only hosts 20 developers. We expect to sell out quick so make sure to register early!
Leuven – Belgium
With the Nooku headquarters just a few miles away, the Nooku Jam almost comes home on the 26-27th of November in Leuven, Belgium. Our friends from FlandersDC will host the Jam in their uber awesome Creativity Lab which will be opened for us specially during the weekend.
Except not one day, but a full weekend of intense presentations, discussions, brainstorms, workshops, hackathons, … around specific areas of the Nooku project. And offcourse in good Nooku tradition there will be a Nooku Party!
This Jam is a great opportunity for Nookuers to meet in person, to put a face on a lot of quirky mailing list and IM nicknames, and to spend some quality time together!
The Nooku Jam is organised together with community partners (Timble, MoyoWeb, Pincoding, Beyounic, FlandersDC). We are still looking for companies to help sponsor the event. Interested? Get in touch.
If you are a Nooku, Joomla or PHP developer this is a Jam not to miss ! The Creativity Lab of FlandersDC can host a maximum of 50 people. Don’t wait to register!
Nooku Server on Tour
With the upcoming release of Nooku Server Alpha 4 we have almost completely refactored all components to Nooku Framework. Some very exciting innovations have been introdcued : multi-site support, content versioning, file management, lightened Joomla core, overhauled administrator interface, mobile and dekstop support …
In the coming weeks we are taking Nooku Server on tour to show you what we have been working on. This is your chance to meet our contributors and get to see the magic in action !
Joomladay Thailand
October is ending with Nooku magic in the land of smiles. Our own Johan Janssens will be at this year’s Joomladay Bangkok joining other international speakers on the 29th of October. Nooku is also proud to be a sponsor of this event.
Last year, Johan announced Nooku Server at the Joomladay in Bangkok. A year later Johan is going back to Bangkok to show Nooku Server in action. He will be talking about the multi-site capabilities of Nooku Server and dive into the new file management features that have been introduced in Alpha 4.
Joomladay Sydney
We are starting November by bringing you Nooku down under. Shayne Bartlett, Nooku Contributor and Timble Project Manager will be traveling to the Joomladay Sydney on the 5th of November to give you a sneak peak into Nooku Server and Framework.
See you there!
September has been Nooku-fied
Two Nooku jams, two continents, one weekend! September was off to a great start start when Johan attended Joomladay Brazil, Tom attended Joomladay Hamburg and magic happened.
Nooku Jam Florianopolis
The Jam started at 6PM right after the closing video of the Joomladay Brazil. Johan rounded up a crew of 35 brave developers who were eager to stick around and all excited to dive into Nooku Framework. With most of the participants being new to Nooku, Johan focused the Jam on showing how easy it is to build a Joomla extension with Nooku Framework.
Johan started by demonstrating how you can create a fully working RESTful webservice with Nooku Framework with just one line of code. This set the tone for what was to follow. In the next 90 minutes, he built a fully working todo list component with tagging, logging, and versioning support.
One Weekend, Two Nooku Jams
September just went from great to awesome! In the weekend of 2-4 September we are branching out over two continents to bring you the world famous Nooku Magic.
