7:15 - 8:15 - Presentation by Stewart Newfeld and others:
JUpgrade and SP Upgrade: Extensions for migrating Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 or 3.0.
A lot of Joomla 1.5 sites are being hacked.  The community needs to come
together and increase the awareness amongst site owners of the need to
update sites for security reasons.  All the popular CMS's need periodic
updating for security reasons.  If we don't want Joomla to get a bad
reputation, we need to understand the release cycle.  At this an future
meetings we will discuss ways to better communicate maintenance requirements
to our clients and how to get paid for it.

See your site Migrated from 1.5 to 2.5:  If you have a simple 1.5 site you
want upgraded to 2.5 in my presentation, bring an Akeeba backup of it on a
flash drive and we'll give it a whirl. Note: I'll only be able to do one.
