It's not Joomla, but Drupal is in the same sort of family/community of CMS and Open Source Software. So, with the White House choosing an Open Source CMS, hopefully, companies that are stuck in the unfounded fear of Security, or worry about not using a Microsoft or Windows system will realize the benefits.

But Brian... why don't you use Drupal? Isn't it better? Well, 'better' is subjective, as a report last week at CMSwire shows Joomla as the most popular CMS...
It's time to put Joomla 1.0 into the history books. Joomla 1.0.x has reached End-Of-Life (eol). What's that mean?
