Monthly JUG Meetup (See more info)
Online / Google Meet
19:00 to 21:00

Join us for August's Joomla User Group London (#JUGL) meetup — an evening with this year's student developers shipping real work on Joomla, mentored through Herman Peeren's programmes.

Krishna Gandhi — Keeping the translator in the loop

Google Summer of Code 2026 student.

Machine translation gives you a draft in seconds, but every correction a volunteer translator makes is thrown away the moment they save. Krishna's project keeps them — distilling corrections into reusable rules (preferred terms, tone, names to leave untranslated) that feed the next translation, so it starts getting your community's terminology right. He'll run the whole loop live on a Joomla 6 site.

Project: gsoc26_translator_feedback

Adarsh Dubey — Towards a More Modern Joomla Administrator: Ajaxified Backend and Autosaving

Joomla Academy 2026 student.

His project makes the Joomla administrator quicker to work in: the backend refreshes only the parts of a page that change instead of reloading the whole thing, and it saves your work as you go — holding form state and editor context across each update. Adarsh will walk the architecture and the trade-offs, with live demos.

Project: ja26_ajaxified_backend

A possible third 'surprise' speaker is to be confirmed.

When

Tuesday 18 August 2026 · 19:00–21:00 BST (18:00–20:00 UTC) · online.
Krishna opens the evening, Adarsh follows, alongside the usual introductions, news and social wrap-up.
