As always, as the first thing in each newsletter we wanted to express our gratitude to all of you who have donated money to XOOPS Foundation ! We truly appreciate your trust and support! 

June was a little slower month for us, but that's normal as vacation time is coming However, work on 2.4.5 release is going forward, with DJ personally working on finalizing the release.  The final version should be released early next week. The important news for us was that XOOPS continues be downloaded in high numbers (the last version 2.4.4 already 40,000 times), and that we are being used to power some new important Websites, like the one for SHPE 2010 National Conference . Also very encouraging are the new activities around the world - with new designs for XOOPS Turkey and XOOPS Bosnia/Herzegovina, new banners for XOOPS France, and XOOPS Germany now being accessible via mobile phones. The International XOOPS Community is what makes XOOPS innovative and let us grow!

Unfortunately, our recent contest for XOOPS Articles was not successful - there were no entries We've extended the deadline to July 30th, so please help us out with some cool articles.
