Tickets
There is no physical ticket! We've gone eco-friendly this year - minimal printing. Just purchase your ticket online and turn up with your ID on the day. On Saturday, the conference ticket includes refreshments. On Sunday, tickets to the workshops need to be purchased separately. The half day workshops price does not include food or drink, so you will need to forage for it at the nearby local establishments.

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio and video content via the Internet allowing users to subscribe to a feed and to receive new content automatically. As new material is place on the feeder site your podcasting software will detect it and you can elect to automatically download it or selectively choose. The question is how to do this in Joomla.
