Igor and his team have done it again and once again Porsche Brazil is being driven by Joomla!

If you ever wondered what  Joomla! can do this site shows just how far you can drive it. Those of you lucky enough to be at JoomlaDay UK earlier this year saw a sneak preview of the site and now we can test drive it for ourselves.

Well done Igor 

UPDATE 

Compare the Joomla! powered Brazilian site with www.porsche.co.uk

Spot the differences? No I can't either. Which is indicative of the strict guidelines that Porsche headquarters apply to the regional websites. What is interesting is that the UK website is created with "Noxum Publishing Studio 4". More details from Noxum about porsche although interestingly they dont give a price for this software so I can only assume that it's one of those "if you need to ask the price you can't afford it"

Today was spent in a race against time tryng to get everything ready for the van to go to London for LinuxWorldExpo.

The expo is a busy time for us as not only does uklinux.net have a large stand we are the Sponsors of the .Org Village and you just wouldt believe how much that entails.

On top of everything I am trying to finish this website so that we can formaly launch JoomlaTraining.org.uk

Is Joomla! about to be distributed with every DVD drive and player on the planet?

Not quite but it is being used to power the websites of Lite-On IT Corporation. Lite-On are the second largest manufacturer of DVD drives in the world
