Celebrate 20 years of Joomla!
Joomla began its story on August 17th, 2005 as a fork of the open-source CMS Mambo. The split was driven by a commitment among core developers to preserve open-source values. The project quickly gained widespread support, and the name “Joomla!” was announced to the community on September 1st. Joomla! is derived from the Swahili word jumla which means “all together”.
