The Joomla Community Magazine’s October 2026 issue is out, and it marks a changing of the guard.
After 54 issues, 182 articles of her own and nearly a thousand edited or reviewed, Anja de Crom is handing over the role of Team Leader to Louise Hawkins, this year’s J!Award winner for best magazine article. Anja stays on the team while she moves on to a new role elsewhere in the Joomla project, and the issue includes a farewell interview with her. Beyond the leadership news, there’s plenty for site builders and developers: a first look at the Joomla 8 roadmap with an invitation to join the online sprint, practical advice on what to do when an extension you depend on is no longer maintained, a developer walkthrough on adding services through the MVCFactory, and articles on breadcrumb navigation, blog post length and the Astroid template framework.
