History

In 2000, an Australia-based company called Miro developed a CMS called Mambo. It quickly gained a lot of community support in a short amount of time, but in 2005, a copyright dispute with the “Mambo Steering Commitee” caused most members of the Mambo Core Team to resign. Later on, the original co-founders Andrew Eddie, Brian Teeman, Johan Janssens, and Jean-Marie established Open Source Matters, Inc. Andrew Eddie called for community input to suggest names for their new project and the new name Joomla was announced.
