It looks that the majority of people are back from vacation, as the activities in the XOOPS world picked up. Several important things happened in July, of which the most important was the release of XOOPS 2.4.5. DJ (aka phppp) also published the XOOPS Core Development Updates. Algalochkin showed us that there are many cool sites being built XOOPS using his themes, and Insraq shared with us some really cool new themes!!!
It's also nice to see that the number of XOOPS fans on Facebook is growing very rapidly after Rune added a "fan button" to XOOPS Website.
We had some heated discussions, but the most important thing is that people are stepping forward and doing things for XOOPS! There are more focused activities (e.g. Blue Move), and more tangible results! It's been refreshing to see more collaborations, more support, more help, more willingness to make a difference. I had a sense in the last few weeks that people are more willing to work with each other, that there is more teaming going on! And this is exactly what will help XOOPS move forward! A special thanks to everybody who is helping!!!

June was a little slower month for us, but that's normal as vacation time is coming
However, work on 2.4.5 release is going forward, with DJ personally working on finalizing the release. The final version should be released early next week. The important news for us was that XOOPS continues be downloaded in high numbers (the last version 2.4.4 already 40,000 times), and that we are being used to power some new important Websites, like the one for SHPE 2010 National Conference. Also very encouraging are the new activities around the world - with new designs for XOOPS Turkey and XOOPS Bosnia/Herzegovina, new banners for XOOPS France, and XOOPS Germany now being accessible via mobile phones. The International XOOPS Community is what makes XOOPS innovative and let us grow!
Unfortunately, our recent contest for XOOPS Articles was not successful - there were no entries

Is April we received the sad news that Dutch court dismisses our claims against Herko Coomans. They didn't say that we were wrong in our claims, but only that our XOOPS Foundation didn't show the court that it was the right party to sue. While we're evaluating a possible appeal, our work on XOOPS goes forward. Most importantly we have released our 2009 XOOPS Annual Report so you can see that we keep our financials in a transparent and correct fashion. Also Eduardo Cortés released his cool module framework: RMCommon Utilities.

What a great start of 2010 - January was an extremely busy month. We've released XOOPS 2.4.4 and XOOPS 2.5.0 Alpha.
Unfortunately, we also lost a member of our community - Marcello Brandao, who lost his battle with cancer. In appreciation of his vast contributions to XOOPS and saddened by his untimely death, the XOOPS Council decided to induct Marcello Brandao into XOOPS Hall of Fame.
We have also filed our deposition in court in Netherlands in a lawsuit against our former Project Manager, Herko Coomans, for return of XOOPS funds and Intellectual Property back to the XOOPS Community. We very much appreciate the support from the XOOPS community - already over 190 XOOPS Community members signed the petition for the court in Netherlands in support of it, and and if you didn't sign yet, please sign it today

December was a busy month. We've released XOOPS 2.4.2 and XOOPS 2.4.3. We've also published a draft of the XOOPS 2008-2009 Annual Report, and we were also very happy to have Trabis joining the XOOPS Council, and Kris_fr releasing Mor.Pho.GEN.e.sis 3.0.
On a little more sober note, we were disappointed that after 2 years of trying we were not able to find an amicable solution with our former Project Manager and Chairman of Stichting XOOPS in Netherlands, Herko Coomans, and were forced to file a lawsuit against him for return of XOOPS funds and Intellectual Property back to the XOOPS Community. We very much appreciate the support from the XOOPS community. Already over 135 XOOPS Community members signed the petition for the court in Netherlands in support of it, and and if you didn't sign yet, please sign it today
But the most important thing is that, as you've seen in the XOOPS 2008-2009 Annual Report, there have been a lot of exciting activities in the last two years, the community is uniting, growing, and becoming more vibrant and active - creating new themes, new modules, and new Core releases - with the new XOOPS 2.5 coming out soon in the Alpha release, and later on the XOOPS 3.0. The year 2010 will be a great year for all of us!!!
