The proud parents wait in trepidation for the first words of baby Joomla. To hear them first, go to the forum

OSM request that no presents are sent however expression of your joy can be left in the reader votes at [www.linuxawards.co.uk](http://www.linuxawards.co.uk) (for your vote to count, you must make a valid nomination in all categories).
