In the early days of Joomla! I wrote very simple Community Builder plugins to do things like add a country flag image to user profiles, send admin notifications when a user updated something in their profile, integrated Dada Mail email list manager into a CB-based site. I also implemented add-ons like a page counter module with various style digits, a random image display module, and some others. Since then, many other developers have written improved versions of these or the extensions they were meant  to augment now include such capabilities.

I continue to maintain the Mailster and Profile Notifier CB plugins, which I use on my own sites. I've since written a Mailster CB plugin that works the same for users as the Dada Mail plugin. I've also written the native Joomla! Content Notifier plugin, which turns an article category into a newsletter when combined with an email list.

I am co-founder of this JUG, which we started in May 2009, and continue to contribute to it as my schedule allows. Starting in August 2026, I served as Secretary for Open Source Matters, Joomla's parent corporation.
