The Joomla! Community Portal (http://community.joomla.org) is a new web site for the Joomla! community. There you will find a constant source of information about the activities powering the Joomla! project, learn about Joomla! Events (http://community.joomla.org/events.html) worldwide, and see if there is a Joomla! User Group (http://community.joomla.org/joomla-user-groups.html) nearby. A new, monthly Joomla! Community Magazine (http://community.joomla.org/magazine.html) promises an interesting overview of project activities, community accomplishments, and learning material. Those who regularly contribute to Joomla! will tell you the best way to get more out of the project is to participate actively. In doing so, you learn. Your contributions help shape the project. You build a support network. You find business opportunities. You start to see the bigger picture and recognize the value of the Joomla! community. It is not always easy to know how to get started as a project contributor. The Joomla! Community Portal makes opportunities for involvement more visible for those interested. At Joomla!, there are always a wide variety of activities underway. The Joomla! Core Team (http://community.joomla.org/core-team-blog.html), Documentation Working Group (http://community.joomla.org/contributors/documentors.html), Joomla! Extension Directory editors (http://community.joomla.org/contributors/jed-editors.html), Forum Moderators (http://community.joomla.org/contributors/forum-moderators.html), Translation Working Group, (http://community.joomla.org/contributors/translators.html) and Development Working Group's (http://community.joomla.org/contributors/developers.html) blogs and RSS feeds will help you keep up with everything that is happening. The Joomla! Events Team helps coordinate activities all over the world and shares information about Joomla! Days (http://community.joomla.org/events/joomladays.html), Expo's and Trade Shows (http://community.joomla.org/events/expos.html), and other community meetings (http://community.joomla.org/events/community-meetings.html). Attending events is an excellent way to meet members of the community, find opportunities to collaborate, and have fun. Review the Joomla! Event Calender (http://community.joomla.org/events/calendar/Joomla%21%20Official%20Events%20Calendar.html) to find an event of interest to you. Joomla! User Groups (http://community.joomla.org/joomla-user-groups.html) are a great way to build a local Joomla! support network. On the Joomla! Community Portal (http://community.joomla.org), a list of groups and contact information is available to make locating a group easier. If there is no Joomla! User Group in your area, consider starting one (http://www.opensourcematters.org/content/view/99/70/). The Joomla! Community Magazine (http://community.joomla.org/magazine.html) promises to be a must read each month. Community members will take turns sharing cool Joomla! 1.5 Web sites, Joomla! 1.5 GPL'd extensions, event information, involvement opportunities, and articles about local communities. A section on learning contains great material for introductory learners, professional Web site integrators, and talented developers. The project section of the magazine will keep you up to date on release information, working group profiles, and the latest project information. We look forward to seeing you at the Joomla! Community Portal (http://community.joomla.org).

Core Team members Brad Baker and Ole Ottosen and OSM Board Members Wendy Robinson and James Vasile who were unable to attend the summit. The Joomla! Core Team (content/blogcategory/13/29/) and Board of Directors of Open Source Matters, Inc. (http://www.opensourcematters.org/content/blogcategory/37/62/) held their annual summit last week in the beautiful area near Pfronten, Germany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfronten). Meeting as a group is obviously rare given the community's international presence. And yet, it is important to take time to evaluate where the project has been and to consider how best to guide it's continued growth. We thank each of you who contribute to this project. Whether you are a member of a working group, or you donate money, or you help new people get started in the forums, or you write code, documentation, or translations, or you organize Joomla! Day events, or you assist with your local Joomla! User Group, your efforts make Joomla! better. If you are hoping to get more involved with the community, but you don't know how to get started, consider participating in the Pizza, Bugs and Fun (http://developer.joomla.org/home/26-coordinator-blog/138-what-it-takes-to-bake-a-pizza.html) event scheduled for the last two weekends of June. Soon ideas and plans from the summit will begin to emerge, but these concepts will only take shape and can only bring positive impact when powered by the Joomla! community. We encourage your involvement and look forward to working with you, all together, to ensure the continued success and growth of the Joomla! project.

Getty Images, one of the world’s largest media licensing companies, has partnered with Flickr to add a broader selection of pictures to its online catalog. Getty will hand-pick a number of Flickr members to participate in the program, with a goal of acquiring thousands of images in the next few months.

Getty editors will use a set of tools jointly developed by the two companies that will enable them to easily scan through Flickr photos to find the best of the crop. Each selected member will have their images licensed through a special Flickr-branded section of Getty’s site, and will receive portions of the licensing fees collected by Getty (there is no set payout structure - each selected participant in the program will need to negotiate their own deal with Getty).

Flickr members will likely try to do anything they can to become a part of the program, which stands to offer them both wide exposure and compensation for their work. Unfortunately, there’s currently no way for a Flickr member to apply to become a part of the program - they need to be “discovered” by Getty’s editors. It’s also hard to tell how lucrative the deals will be for photographers, as Getty has yet to form any partnerships.

Drupal does not have user facing content management out of the box. Fortunately, a user facing content management page can be created in 5 minutes using Views. It's not a panacea, but can provide part of the solution.

I typically use this view in conjunction with a menu block. The menu block has visibility set by role and contains links useful to the user, such as a link to this view, the content creation URL (node/add/foo), and the user's profile.
