The Joomla! Project call for Volunteers to contribute to Joomla!

20 January 2025.

The Joomla! Project's Outreach Department Coordinator for the forthcoming year is Angelika Prox-Dampha.

She has begun the year by calling for volunteers to contribute to the work of The Joomla! Project in a very wide range of roles.

In her January 2025 Joomla! Community Magazine article she outlines the vast array of roles that need the help of volunteers.

Here are Angelika's opening remarks from her magazine article:

"You’ve probably heard or read it more than once: Joomla needs volunteers.

Without people, new releases take longer and have less exciting features, documentation remains incomplete and bugs take forever to get fixed. But who do we need, and what would they be doing?

Joomla is entirely staffed and managed by volunteers and powered entirely by their contributions. Volunteers are key to the growth, success and continuity of the project. Because our current volunteers are busy people who can only dedicate a limited amount of time, Joomla is always in need of new volunteers.

You will be part of an international team, involved in strategic social media management and participate in regular online meetings. We all work from "home office". You can gain valuable experience, broaden your knowledge, and sharpen your soft skills. If you’re ready, you can also develop leadership expertise.

Certainly, we value developers, yet there are plenty of roles that don’t require any programming knowledge."
