Without Joomla ... I would certainly not be where I am today. My history with Joomla started in 2008 when I was working with a company and I had project to update a Joomla 1.0 site for a German website. I had to decide if this the company needed to upgrade to 1.5 or if they should look for a different CMS. At that point, I had never actually worked with Joomla so I started exploring and learning more about it. To my surprise, Joomla was by far and away the easiest and most user friendly of all four CMSs that I had used.  

Little did I know it, but at the time, I had discovered a tool that would transform my professional career and my personal life. Joomla changed me from a PHP developer into a full time front end developer. Today I do 100% of my work through Joomla and I contribute a great deal of time to the project. I've been involved in various aspects as a volunteer and I've had the great fortune to be able to spread the Joomla love throughout the world. I've met so many incredibly awesome people at Joomla events throughout and these people have enriched my life. Without Joomla, I guess I wouldn't have any friends right now. Some of the people I've met through the project are now my best friends. The project and the community have done so much for me. I truly appreciate it all and I will never forget it. Joomla makes me feel alive. Joomla is my life. I cannot imagine life without it. I love you Joomla. Happy 10th Birthday! Here's to many more.

How I discovered Joomla ? Simply ! In 2007 a friend of mine talked with me about Joomla..I said : Humm Joomla is good for me !! I was immediately captivated by the friendliness and accessibility of the CMS. I decided turn it into a job. I found a job in a training society in Toulouse France. The boss asked me to create a business site with Joomla / virtuemart to sell argan oil. Since that day, I discovered all the capabilities of the CMS. I created my company to sell services around Joomla! This is my 8th year with Joomla! and everyday I discover the CMS and enjoy !
Love from France

When I was in college I discovered Joomla for creating websites on the side for earning some money. After continuous googling and tutorial watching I got the hang of it. As I started working with Joomla I soon realized the sheer potential it had. It allowed me to create complex websites in well-structured way. This helped me to land my first job in the web development industry and today I have come a long way as backend and front end developer. I cannot thank enough to everybody who has contributed to this project and made it the best CMS ever. Joomla’s ultimate power is its helping community. I am happy to say I have contributed back to the community by developing extensions and educating Joomla to many of my clients. I wish Joomla 10 x 10^10 years more strong.
