Joomla! Volunteers Portal

1. Community Sites Team Meeting - January 2026

   The team met over two days (1 hour each) to discuss leadership and site updates. Carlos Cámara shared his plan to run for Operations DC while ensuring a smooth leadership transition. Key updates: the new documentation site faces accessibility and template issues, the old site is being secured from bots, and the Volunteers Portal is migrating to Joomla! 6.0.2. The Magazine site awaits Joomla! 6 compatibility, while the Joomla! 6 landing page is ready for an update and multilingual support. The Conference site for 2026 is in progress, and the JED4 component is under development. The team will also update the list of site managers.
