The term "free software" can refer to either the price of a software or the fact the the software is developed in open source and allows users to freely access it's data source and develop within their applications. Joomla! is a free, award-winning, content management system written in PHP which is allows users to easily publish their content on the world wide web and intranets. It is created as an open-source project where individuals and teams contribute their skills to its development as well as its supporting systems.
Joomla! was picked as the software's name as the phonetic spelling of the Swahili word "Jumla" which means "all together" or as a whole." A software with this type of name speaks to its sense of community and open collaboration. The key to Joomla! is the fact that it is a very easy application to use, while still offering many features and allowing for robust developments.

Thanks for reminding me that Free software is not all opensource software.
Many people think because of the code is open, the software will be unsecured. Some people think the design of open-sourse softweare lacks of organized group work. Therefore,it will not be better than charged software. What do you think?
