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.

Joomla 1.0.x  has reached End-Of-Life (eol). What's that mean?  Simply, the old version (1.0.x) is no longer supported, and will no longer get security patches.
