Mambo LogoThank you for choosing Mambo. You have completed successfully the installation of the Mambo files and are now viewing part of the sample content that is included in the default Mambo installation. You can delete all of this information and replace it with your own contents very easily. However, before you do that, we recommend that you review these sample files, as they contain some information you might find to be helpful.

Included in the sample content you will find:

  • An overview of Mambo (this content item)
  • An introduction to Components & Modules
  • A summary of the templates that are included in this release, and
  • Information about Mambo’s Licensing Terms (GPL)

It is quite literally true to say that Mambo is an Open Source success story. The original program was developed by the Australian software company Miro, who released the code to the Open Source community under the terms of the GNU GPL in March of 2001. Until August of 2005, the development of Mambo was controlled by a loosely organized community of volunteers. During the course of development, Mambo grew in complexity and ability and won a number of awards together with a wide following of loyal users. Version 4.5.2 of Mambo was downloaded 1.8 million times!

In August 2005, the Mambo Foundation was formed, signaling a new era for the system. The Foundation is a non-profit corporation whose sole purpose is the growth and development of Mambo. The Foundation is run by the members of the community. Membership in the Foundation is open to all and entitles members to elect their representatives on the Board of Directors and to participate more fully in matters affecting the development of the project.

Non-profit structures like the Mambo Foundation have been used successfully by GNOME, Eclipse, Mozilla and many other Open Source projects. The non-profit corporate structure is popular, at least part, because it adds a level of stability and accountability absent in ad hoc community driven projects. The existence of the Mambo Foundation means that users of Mambo can be assured that the code will remain Open Source, will remain backed by a transparent and accountable organization, and will have the ongoing support and promotion that gives developers and business users the confidence to choose Mambo over other systems.

If you would like to become involved in the development of Mambo and be a part of the dynamic Mambo community, please contact us at

Can I take your number? http://www.epra.ee/index.php?option=dissertation-writing-software social responsibility term paper I watched from our studios at the BBC in London, marvelling at the poise of this young woman. Watching from elsewhere were those whose lives Malala had already touched – some, like Kat Hackett, were moved to tears. 'I hadn't seen her speak like that before. This young girl that I saw very ill had become very well.' For doctors like Richard Irving, who had worked so hard to end the paralysis of Malala's face, it was another chance to gauge how far she had come. 'I was observing her face, there's no doubt about it, but I was also listening to the powerful message. I was delighted that she could do it, eight months after her facial nerve repair and five months after her cochlear implant. That in itself is impressive.' For Malala's father, it was the greatest day of his life.

Making full use of the resources and possibilities of the novel form, each writer has found the distinct idiom that their story demands."

I never went to university cheap indocin A@barfle: and that is exactly what the Republican Party has not wanted to happen because they want the government barefoot and prone, and would very much prefer that all those who depend on it drop dead as long as they get theirs. Am I too unkind? The biggest pigs at the Federal trough are always the rich and the well funded. Everyone else needs the government as the most reliable and usually most legally accountable and disinterested party available for long term concern for the general welfare. Most buisnesses – and especially the ever changing place names of the major international corporations – seem to be fly by night outfits, actually, however lush their corporate quarters. Every decade or so they seem to have name changes and identity crisis and rack up huge debts in merger and acquisition costs. It keeps people in money and I appreciate the value of negative numbers on a balance sheet.
