This blog entry is a little late, But JoomlaMafia.com was at the joomla booth helping out.
We meet up and drank beer with Nathan Mallamace, Anthony Ferrara, Ryan Ozimek, Ron Severdia and Louis Landry
I didn't do a lot of walking around but SUSE was a few booths down and was giving away a really nice flash light, Silicon Mechanics being a 'green' company instead of handing out papers gave away 512mb flash drives with less then 5mb of info on them it appeared. GoGrid gave away t-shirts and a lot of places gave out stickers.
I highlighted the 3 companies because thats what I got out of the $36 I spent on parking plus who ever that one group was that was nice enought to invite us up stairs at the thirsty bear and gave us tokens for the old school arcade games and 2 free drinks and the free food that was very tasty

If you havent heard of Alexa, Its a site amazon started. The stats are interesting, even more so interesting that:
1. It only counts the people who have their tool bar installed into their browser.
2. The tool bar does not work on Vista Computer yet.
3. From what I can tell they dont have one for Mac OS X (Im using a Mac unless Sparky is the equivilant
4. They don't have one available from what I can tell for any Linux systems,
Well as we all may or may not know, A big / h-u-g-e / LARGE portion of people that use joomla being its an open source thing, Also us open source Operating Systems. Linux
If they dont have a version for linux, which a large amount of my traffic comes form is on Linux. Yet I still went from a 9,xxx,xxx traffic 7 week Average. when I went to bed last night (Sunday Night) that Monday morning, I jumped 4 million plus ranks, and then by the time I drove to Mountain View California around the corner from Google Head Quarters. I was at 890K I get home just slightly before midnight (mind you i been online maybe 20 minutes all day because I was dealing with Clients hotels and I meet up with Nathan owner of DownDoggy.com and had lunch with him at Aqui where we discussed the future modules and components JoomlaMafia is about to release and we discussed the Joomla meet up tomorrow in the bay area and the one next month at Google HQ.
We have a lot of interesting plans developing for this site. Soon we will have IRC built into the site to send people to the #joomla Freenode network channel. We have Several NEVER before seen components for Joomla... They simply don't exsist at all. We are going to be adding a forum once membership levels get built up to actually call for it. Please people if you like this site, Join, and digg the articles, social book mark the site, help us drive up traffic. I will be giving everyone a discount that has joined the site before we release any commerical components, If commerical chances are we will have a free version thats a bit limited but we plan to make our pricing very affordable, Chances are you wont ever see a price for anything above $50. Most our stuff will be $5-10 price range.
We will be adding a ton of video tutorials only available to people who are registered. We will be having how to buy a domain name, set it up with cpanel, and have joomla 1.5.3 installed in less then 5 minutes and adding content. Lots of cool and exciting new features coming, If your a PHP programmer, or have expeirance in template development, are really good with XHTML or CSS and have developed components please contact us. We are looking for these sorts of people even people to help write articles or do the tutorials videos. We are more then just JoomlaMafia, JoomlaMafia is just on of many (over 40) websites
