He is currently Chair of his Residents’ Association and has worked in public policy and community development for about 5 years including working as a researcher for Diane Abbott MP. Joomla is a free open source content management system (CMS) and is very straightforward to learn and to use. It is about 7 years old and is in its 3rd generation. It is a worldwide community project and also slightly better than its closest rivals WordPress and Drupal. We have run free weekly sessions since January 2013 and so far have trained 350 people. We also offer a subscription service of 100 workshops a year and technical support for £168 (waged/commercial organisations) or £72 (unwaged/community organisations) per year.
