Dutch Joomla!Days use MageBridge
Thursday, 18 February 2010On the 22nd and 23rd of April 2010, the annual Dutch Joomla!Days take place. Just like last year, the online registration pages for visitors are based on Magento. Special for this year is that the actual frontend will be based on Joomla! and MageBridge. We are proud that our MageBridge software is able to contribute to this Joomla! event.
The Dutch and their things
It's not all magic - Yireo is the international initiative of Jira ICT, a Dutch company focussed on Joomla! and Magento. For many years, Jira ICT is a known face in the Dutch Joomla! community - thanks to its trainings, bootcamps, services but not in the least, being a sponsor for the Joomla!Days.
Stichting Post and 2Value
The Dutch Joomla!Days are since the beginning organized by Stichting Post - a non-profit entity founded for opensource events like this, and backed up by the company 2Value. This company 2Value is actually more of a cooperation between webdesigners, webdevelopers and marketeers in order to run large enterprise projects. Third parties can lift on this success by becoming a 2Value Associate.
The 2Value webshop
Recently 2Value made the switch to Magento. As a Yireo Partner, 2Value has used MageBridge in several cases but also for its own website: 2Value Associates can subscribe to various events or programs through a MageBridge-based webshop. The same Magento instance is now also used for the Dutch Joomla!Days. This is a perfect example of how the multi-site mechanism of Magento can be used.
