Joomla! workshop

Last week I conducted a Joomla! workshop in Tamil for mainly North and East people of Sri Lanka. It is a two days workshop and I did it well than I thought. Enjoyed a lot..

I think the participants too. All appreciated well.. Send mails... Called...

The important think is that they really learnt Joomla! almost all the participants were confident that they can develop the site. Thats a great thing and it seems some of them have developed site for their institute and published.

This workshop is organized by ICTA Sri lanka.

LAKapps

LAKapps is a project of localizing Open Source applications in Sri Lankan local languages viz Tamil and Sinhala. I am in the core team.
