In this presentation you will not learn anything about building a website with Joomla!. You won't even learn anything about writing an extension or coding a template! Instead you will hear the trials and tribulations, the battles and compromises, the guidelines and procedures that took place when deciding on the name Joomla! You'll hear about the three final choices, the initial reactions and the lessons to be learned when choosing a name for a new project. Instead of the name you have come to love (or hate) it could easily have been something that sounded like a Russian battleship.

Notes de l'éditeur
- a little about meco-founder of joomla blogger (award winner)
- so on aug 17 2005 we split from mambo and immediately were threatened that we couldnt use the name mambo
- internally we called it a spork. not a fork or a spoon
- you have to remember the core team was 22 people from around the world we had never met in person more than 2-3 at a time
- can you imagine trying to organise the time for a meeting andrew->brian->mitch->andrew
- this is a photo of the first time most of us met in the real world oct 2005 in London
- we knew we had a long journey ahead lots of things to get done quickly
- the first was to find a name
- we had a few ideas but really we just argued and fought 22 people 23 suggestions
- in desperation Andrew posted on the new forum asking for suggestions
- we’d already had 4 theme ideas for the name
- my personal favourite but we never found a good one for us
- rising from the ashes phoenix was gone - played with feenix
- we were very proud of the number of languages that mambo was availble in nothing else offered so much
- we only ever met on irc each day there were thousands of lines to read through lots of suggestions false paths
- drum roll please for the 3 final options
- phoenix. beautiful butterfly grow from pupabutterfly with orange tip
- sounds like a russian battelship
- something to do with database
- esperanto, swahili, online dictionary j-m simonet infograf76
- jumla means all together cool
- how do we decide. secret ballet
- pete russell offers to send it to brand consultant to decide
- and look what we got joomla with a bang
- mitch says it sounds like an oompaloompa
- so we argued a bit more
- people have had enough we decide to accept the brand consultants advice
- 17:00 I emailed all domain holders 1 hour in advance we cared about their sites
- 5:58pm google search
- 18:00 name announced world i had the honour
- Estonia have bumped in to the problem with the meaning of the word. The Root of the word means in Estonian "drink" and if You put "la" to the end of it the meaning could be something like "the place where You drink (alcohol)"
- a second problem miss the M and table tennis bat JOOLA
- and then we would have had an OSM president like this
- you have your ticket you are here but i can announce there will be JandBeyond 2011 support the event planning but a t-shirt for €10
