[Update: Celebration has ended. Raffles no longer take place. Promotion offers are gradually removed].
Joomlapolis has been around since the birth of Joomla and Community Builder, the open source script it supports has been around even more. Our community has just surpassed the 300K mark and we, the Joomlapolitans, are proud about this and feel like celebrating by giving back to Joomla and our membership even more.
It seems like yesterday when our mambojoe.com website passed the torch over to joomlapolis.com as the official home of the Community Builder suite, but in fact it's been over 4+ years since the 'Welcome to Joomlapolis' article was published. During this period a number of incredible milestones figures have been surpassed. Besides reaching the 300K membership milestone we have surpassed the 122 thousand forum post mark, the 2 million download mark and the 50 million website visitor mark!
These are all remarkable achievements which prove that our community is a strong and prosperous one. It is truly a time for celebration and thanks giving, and guess what? That's what we are about to do!
The CB Team and Joomlapolis have always been very active in the Joomla universe. We have participated in the past in various workgroups and have always assisted in making Joomla even better. As a small token of our gratitude, Joomlapolis will sponsor $1000 worth of top developer time to further Joomla 1.6 development. We are proud to be a part of this open source effort and will continue to assist in any way possible. Thank you Joomla!
The 300K festivities don't stop with our Joomla 1.6 sponsoring. Commencing from the registration of our 300K member up to the registration of our 301K user, we have a number of promotional offers in store for our membership.
- In addition to giving Joomla $1 development sponsoring for every user that subscribes during our celebration period ($1000 as mentioned above), we offering our 2 commercial templates - the MyCommunity template package and the Coolness template package - at the price of 1. Any registered Joomlapolitan can download both of these super efficient, lightning fast templates at the price of one.
- Joomlapolis will also be giving away 3 CB Documentation Subscriptions daily throughout the celebration period. All registered members (that are not already documentation subscribers) are automatically eligible.
- Existing CB Documentation subscribers will also participate in the festivities and are automatically eligible+ for our daily template giveaways. Three combined MyCommunity / Coolness template packages will be randomly awarded to existing CB Documentation subscribers every day during the 300K celebration period.
- Joomlapolitans are also given a 30% discount coupon towards the purchase of the newly published 'Using Joomla' book by Ron Severdia and Ken Crowder. In 'Using Joomla' there is an entire section dedicated to how to add social features to your website using Community Builder!
- Our own CB Team member Kyle, aka krileon, will be offering his AMS CB Virtuemart integration plugin free of charge!
- The Anything Digital team will be offering discount coupons worth $25 to $50 for their JCal Pro calendar application packages (CB plugins included of course).
- Finally, the Software4Joomla team, specializing in CB related extensions, will be offering a 50% discount coupon for all their individual extensions.
All of these offers will be available throughout the duration of our festivities. Just visit your Joomlapolis profile to see coupons and offering image links. Our daily giveaway recipients will be announced on our Joomlapolis 300K Winners page.
The Joomlapolis team sincerely thanks ALL of its community and wishes everyone a great 'Community Building' year. We would like to conclude by announcing that CB 1.2.2 will be publicly released on March 1st and that two new CB Team plugins, the CB Facebook Connect plugin and the CB Twitter Connect plugin will also be released to all CB Documentation subscribers immediately after.

As we have mentioned in our New Year resolutions, a number of great and exciting projects have been planned and are already in progress.
As always, we would like to get our Joomlapolitans involved. Our community is important to us - after all we are the home of the Community Builder. This is the time to express your opinion and concerns. This is the time to offer your assistance and make your proposals. We cannot guarantee that all proposals will be implemented, but we will listen.
One of the items on our list calls for a website redesign. We are aware that our site needs some major work. We will upgrade to Joomla 1.5 and we will reorganize all our services and offerings to make things easier for everyone. We would love to hear your opinion on this matter and also your proposals for what you would like to see in the new environment. What would really make your experience on our website better? What extra services would you like to see? Now is the time for action.
We are also in the process of reorganizing our WorkGroup teams. So if you are an experienced or not so experienced CB user or GroupJive user or a language plugin translator, then this is the time to act. If you have time to help out, this is your calling. We are continuously reorganizing our workgroup membership to make sure we always have an active group. Send nant a private message and he will give you instructions on how to join the respective WorkGroup.
This is the time for action - express your opinion, voice your concern, offer your assistance:

We have just launched our CBSubs1 demo website!
This website demonstrates how CBSubs can be used to provide a paid membership site that automatically grants / revokes content access privileges based on subscriptions.
The site is built using a set of popular extensions all integrating cleanly (no hacking whatsoever) with the most powerful paid membership subscription solution available.
We have enabled the CBSubs dummy (test) gateway, so no real money transaction will take place.
Visit the site and follow the simulated payment process to see just a very small portion of what CBSubs can accomplish for you!
