Price: $5.00/per person

Schedule:
6:00 - 6:30 Networking
6:30 - 9:00 Migration
9:00 - 9:15 Clean up

Joomla 1.6 has been out now a while, and 1.7 is coming this month (believe it or not). So come find out why this version can give Joomla users, designers and developers all they need in a CMS.
You might be asking: Now what do I do? When is it time to migrate to 1.6? How do I migrate? What steps do I need to take to migrate? Is it worth it to migrate?
The answers to all these questions will be answered at the meetup - and much more.

Specific segments include
  * Moving content, images, users and categories from 1.5 to 1.6
  * Template conversion/migration and other options
  * New components/modules/plugins and some old ones that have been rewritten for 1.6
  * Tips and tricks: what are the best aspects to the new Joomla 1.6 and how to get the most out of the new system
  * Assessing what you still “need” and don’t “need” in Joomla 1.6

As a bonus, we will also be looking at one attendee’s site and migrating it to 1.6. When you RSVP, a question will be asked for you to give the URL of one website you’d like considered. The leadership team will review and choose one site. That chosen site will be migrated (at least partially - and a plan in place to follow to its completion) to Joomla 1.6 at the meetup.

We look forward to seeing YOU at the meetup and hope you’re having a great summer!
