A Joomla! Pizza Bug and Fun (PBF) event 17th of October 2020 takes place in many countries around the world. This wiki will be used as the central resource for coordinating efforts and accumulating results from this event.

Ziele

Whether you are a newbie, beginner or professional, graphic designer or programmer, whether you have an agency or a club site, whether female or male, whether young or old, Pizza Bugs and Fun is for you. The event is for those who already work with Joomla! or want to get to know Joomla! first. Only your interest in Joomla! counts. Everyone is welcome. On 17th of October 2020 we would like to invite you all Joomla-enthusiastic users, regardless of your previous knowledge, to make Joomla! even better. We are grateful for any support! Participation is free, non-alcoholic drinks and a pizza included.

• Joomla 4: Joomla 4.0 is coming soon, but it still has a lot of bugs and feature requests that are untested, which means they cannot be added into the Joomla core.
• Documentation: There are lots of Documents that need writing. Tutorials and Help Screens are needed for Joomla! 4.
• Documentation Translation: At the PBF Event we hope to translate lots of English documents into other languages to give Joomla! users as much information as possible in their language.
• Patch testing: As a main rule, new functions for Joomla have to be tested before they can be merged into an official release. Usually, it takes only a few minutes and you can help make Joomla better.

FAQ

In this document you should find information on how this event is organized. If you don't find what you are looking for, here are a few FAQs:

1. Q: Where can I register if I want to join? A: Search for a Joomla User Group and contact them to find out if they're doing something. You can also look at starting your own Joomla User Group (JUG) near you or write an email to the team [1].
2. Q: I can't go to a location - can I join online? A: Yes! You only need a computer and an internet connection, but unfortunately you have to order or make your own pizza.

Organization, logistics and communications

This PBF is organized by local Joomla! User Groups (JUGs). You can find more information on the special event page: pizza-bugs-fun.com.

If you would like to participate but don't have a user group nearby, or you are Joomla User Group and want to join, just do it! There are a few requirements:

• You need a room with WiFi access.
• You need some Joomlers equipped with a laptop and motivation.
• Do not hesitate to send an email to team@pizza-bug-and-fun.com or contact the team on | Glip.

Of course, you can also join from home, but where is the fun without the community and the pizza?
