The idea of a Joomla! User Group for London first came to me almost a year ago. A series of posts on the main Joomla! forum showed there was great interest in setting up some local meetings.

Joe and I have both been impressed with the community spirit shown by so many of the Joomla! contributors, both core and users.

We liked the idea that a user group could contribute to the community and together we made plans, looked for a venue and thought about what the group could do.
