On March 21st, 2010 JUG Toronto hosted a presentation by Rafael Diaz-Tushman by Dioscouri on their latest extension: Tienda.

Tienda is a new e-commerce extension for Joomla! Although still in Beta the promise is there for all to see. Rafael took us through the features and I can say I was very impressed with it's flexibility and ease of use.

The postponed JUGT Tienda presentation by Dioscouri's Rafael Diaz-Tushman has been rescheduled to March 21st, 2010.

I had mentioned previously that I was excited to learn more about Tienda's capabilities and functionality from the presentation previously scheduled to take place on February 27. Unfortunately mother nature interfered with our plans and due to the storm hitting NY and Ontario Rafael was unable to take his planned flight to Toronto which left us all drooling for another month.

The JUGT has announced that the plans are on again and to register for this free event you just need to put your name down on the list at the JUGT's official website. 

I am very disappointed but also know there is nothing none of us could have done to prevent the postponement of the event. We can't control mother nature and she is sure showing she rules today.

Gusting winds and powdery snow on already icy surfaces make a good combination for disaster. Lots of accidents have been reported around the GTA and many flights cancelled, including Rafael Diaz-Tushman's, our presenter.

The JUGT will be informing all members of the new date via mass mail so if you are not a registered member at the site yet, sign up to receive up to date information on this and other events to come.

I used Mambo for about a year before 2005 when the Joomla! project forked out. I decided to take the new road with Joomla! and have been using it ever since.

Interestingly enough, although I was using Joomla! for a long time I only got involved with the project more seriously once I attended my first social JUGT (Joomla! User Group Toronto) meeting last April.

Today I had the great pleasure, together with Abivia's Alan Langford, of interviewing Rafael Diaz-Tushman, President and CEO of Dioscouri Design about his upcoming presentation of his new e-commerce extension, Tienda.
