    As many of you know, version 1.5 was released in January of 2007, almost 2 years ago. That means that it will be over 2 years between versions 1.5 and 1.6. I think most of us would agree that this is too long between versions. But just saying that releases must be more often doesn’t address the underlying issues and challenges.

    Fortunately, discussion of how Joomla team can get to a more dynamic release cycle while preserving the stability and reliability that users have come to expect. Anyway to cut a long story short Joomla team is waiting for our feedback in discussing this problem and we hope that all Joomla fans will take chance and help to make Joomla better.

    Recently, Open Source Matters received an unsolicited proposal for the management of http://demo.joomla.org. After consideration and consultation with the Community Oversight Committee, the OSM board the Community Oversight Committee determined that, in the interest of fairness, others should also be invited to submit proposals.

    Open Source Matters is requesting proposals for the management of the Joomla! demo site (http://demo.joomla.org). The existing Joomla!® demo site has been highly successful, with an average of 25,000 registrations monthly. OSM reasonably expects the number of registrations to increase with more prominent displays of the links to the site on the joomla.org family of websites. The joomla.org sites now receive approximately 5 million visits per month.

    This is an open and competitive process. Responses to this RFP (”proposals”) received after December 9, 2009 will not be considered.
