Internet Usage

That’s fantastic!It means more users for web systems like Joomla ! Does it not ?

Market DynamicsA lot has changed in 10 years

● It's much easier to connect to the internet now than ever before

● The volume of non technical, non super savvy users on the Internet is increasing

● Your Granny is on the internet

more consumers than ever

In all likeliness, the consumers on the internet far outscale the builders, the geeks

Impacton the CMS Market

DistributionsFor extension developers, Agencies & Integrators to reach new horizons and markets!

Extension developers can position distros based on their extensions in Joomla as well as non Joomla markets

Consultants, Developers & Integrators can create focussed distributions like ones for Schools , SEO Agencies etc

Core will enable easier distro creation and maintenance & Promote via a Distro Directory.

Value added servicesWays to list & promote Joomla based services like Monitoring, Security , Backup, Hosting etc maybe via JED

Volunteer onboarding & utilisationWe need to improve our Volunteer onboarding process to make them feel welcome

A ‘Task Pile’ needs to be maintained where validated ‘Help Requests’ are available for Volunteers to pitch in

Volunteers can submit their work against the tasks and earn points for volunteering

Next Steps

1. Work with Resources Directory & Volunteer Directory to create a gamified Individual and Agency profile

2. Define Extension based marketing strategy

3. Define the rules for the Distro Ecosystem & promote it

4. Drive value to each of our User personas
