KickApps <3 Open Source at Linux World Expo

In CMS, Drupal, Events, Joomla, Linux World

As many of you know, we spend a lot of time working on enabling deeper levels of integration with Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress. Since releasing our single sign-on modules and plugins we’ve had a number of great websites go live which have integrated KickApps powered social & media applications into Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress powered websites.

Developers and web designers are finding that they’re increasingly required to integrate social & media applications into websites that they build. As a result, the combination of KickApps and a CMS is a very powerful one.

Which makes it a perfect time to introduce you to Mitch Pirtle (@Mitchitized and @KickDeveloper). Mitch is one of the founders of Joomla and as KickApps’ Developer Evangelist is tasked with making KickApps a developer’s best friend.

If you’re heading to Linux World Expo next week, come by and hang out at booth 1000 with Mitch, Mike Sommers, Chris Keane and Stan Shaul. If you need somewhere to rest your feet, check your email, write some code, meditate, do some yoga, come to the KickApps Developer Lounge at room 130. Or, check out the meet ups that we’re hosting in the lounge:
