I think that this question may be hard to answer for some of us. We make judgments about one-another every day of our lives and many times we make mistakes. We make judgments that are based upon the values we learned while growing up. When we were children it was our environment that modified many of our ideas about race, religion, culture and color. As adults, our environment may still influence how we view others. For the most part we are products of our environment, past and present and our parents taught us most of our social perspectives. It’s a shame that from one generation to the next we are constantly re-learning fears and hatreds of those who are different from ourselves. Racism is a social sickness and the only way we can ever defeat it is to stand up to it. Make your statement... stand up and be counted and let all who cross your path know that you are going to make a difference… and that you are taking a stand.

The Joomla Core Team and Working Group members are volunteer developers, designers, administrators and managers who have worked together to take Joomla! to new heights in its relatively short life. Joomla! has some wonderfully talented people taking Open Source concepts to the forefront of industry standards. Joomla! 1.5 is a major leap forward and represents the most exciting Joomla! release in the history of the project.
