Rochen keep in touch with their customers and the wider Joomla Community through our support and attendance of JoomlaDays and Joomla Events around the world. We try to keep our clients informed via our Twitter stream: @rochenhost make sure you follow us.

Recently on the list of events we attended and supported was the Sydney JoomlaDay 2009.
Thanks to all the people behind this event, the day was both informative and enjoyable. I was able to meet up with a number of current customers (and hopefully future ones) and discuss with them their needs and plans for the future. Here’s a small picture I took at the end of the event: http://yfrog.com/0sdfqj If you attended this event and missed the coupon code we shared, please get in touch with me.

Later in the year we’re proud to be providing support to the Joomla! Developer Conference in New York City on Dec 5 and 6 2009.

Other JoomlaDays currently being planned in 2010 that we will also attend include: Melbourne JoomlaDay 2010 and CMS Expo 2010. We may be able to have more than one staff member present at some of these future events as we try to contribute to the Joomla Community by sharing our knowledge and services of Joomla Hosting, after all, we knowhow to host Joomla sites being the Official Hosting Partner of the Joomla Project.

In the nearer future, you can catch us in Vietnam at the JoomlaDay Ho Chi Minh City on November 1 2009. We’re not only attending this event, but also providing sponsorship.

If you have any questions regarding your hosting needs (present and future) and you can attend any of these events, be sure to let us know and we’d be happy to arrange to spend some time with you.

This year is shaping up to be an even busier year than last year at Rochen. Our recently launched Managed Virtual Server (MVS) platform continues to be one of our most successful products from 2008 and we hope that to continue this year as well. Still in the pipeline for the near future is our Rochen ‘Exclusive’ Affiliate program that will be only open to selected applicants. Look out for more information on that soon.

Joomla Events where you can meet some of the Rochen team:

Melbourne JoomlaDay – Sat 7th February – Sun 8th February 2009
I’ll be attending this event, along with some other Joomla Core Team and Workgroup members. Look out for my presentation on Joomla Hosting, as well as others on the day regarding Joomla Security.

UK JoomlaDay – Sat 14th March – Sun 15th March 2009
Chris as well as Martin will be attending this event. This is only the second UK JoomlaDay, so I’d expect it to be a sold out event. Chris will also be speaking on Joomla security from a web hosting prospective. In the mean time you may wish to review his previous blog post on Joomla Security.

Las Vegas JoomlaDay – Sat 4th April 2009
Chris will be attending this event, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest Joomla Events of the year. Some of the presenters include: Steve Burge, Vic Drover, Andrew Eddie, Anthony Ferrara, Louis Landry, Toni Marie, Jennifer Marriott, Wendy Robinson, Rob Schley and Elin Waring.

Rochen do more than just Joomla hosting. We try to support Joomla as much as we can by not only our sponsorship of the project, but also of JoomlaDays.

Which events will you be attending this year? We be happy to catch up with any current or potential customers while we attend these events.

We’re looking forward to seeing some of you there!
