Marketing Working Group[edit]

The Marketing Working Group (MWG) was formed in January 2014, with the primary focus being to raise awareness of the Joomla Content Management System (CMS) and Framework within the international Joomla community, as well as the general open source community and wider world.

In December we announced that we were seeking nominations from the community for new members to join the Marketing Working Group. The original article can be accessed here: http://community.joomla.org/blogs/community/1786-call-for-marketing-working-group-members.html.
