Agenda:
6:00 - 6:20 - Gary Mort will provide a review of Community Builder, what 
features it allows you, where you need to expand it to create a true 
Community Site, etc.

6:20 - 6:40 - Laura Gordon will give an overview of 2 usefull Joomla 
Components.  CBJuice, which allows for the import and export of user 
information from Community Builder, and JACL which allows you to grant 
more fine controlled user level access to Joomla components and Content.

6:45 to 7:15 - Mitch Pertle will discuss the future of JoomlaCities and 
it's first site, the NYC Joomla Cities site(coming soon).  JoomlaCities 
goal is to allow for a centralized site to give regional Joomla User 
Groups a place to meet, discuss, and improve their knowledge.  As well 
as a way to give back to the Joomla Community in general.

7:20 - 7:40 - Anthony Ferrara, author of PageCache for Joomla, will give 
a presentation on developing applications for Joomla.

7:40 - 8:00 - time permitting, Gary Mort will give a review of Template 
modification of a Commercial Template for a live Joomla site - including 
how you can develop your new template for an existing site on the live 
site.  This is primarily an overview of the processes involved as well 
as the features of Joomla that make it easy to have 2 different looks 
for the same site at the same time(even with different module 
customizations)
