Content Management Matters ™

Mambo's Peter Lamont, owner of the MamboXchange developer forge, has just assigned the domain and its accompanying websites to the Mambo Foundation.

The Mambo Foundation shouldered serious volatility in managing the Mambo project after the separation of Mambo and Joomla into separate entities in 2005. Life on the open source frontier isn't always pretty.

"The Xchange rightly belongs with the Foundation who have demonstrated their ability and commitment to responsibly manage and grow the Mambo project and unite a large and growing community of dedicated Mambo users," Lamont explained.

"I have no doubt that [...] the new board will take Mambo from strength to strength under accountable and transparent leadership and governance.”

Cheers to the Foundation.

Since the breakup of Mambo into separate Joomla and Mambo projects on August 17, 2005, the Mambo project has been in a bit of disarray. The Mambo Foundation hopes to tighten things up by going from ruled-by-committee model to making Chad Auld the leader of the project.
