Mambo LogoThank you for choosing Mambo. You have completed successfully the installation of the Mambo files and are now viewing part of the sample content that is included in the default Mambo installation. You can delete all of this information and replace it with your own contents very easily. However, before you do that, we recommend that you review these sample files, as they contain some information you might find to be helpful.

Included in the sample content you will find:

  • An overview of Mambo (this content item)
  • An introduction to Components & Modules
  • A summary of the templates that are included in this release, and
  • Information about Mambo’s Licensing Terms (GPL)

It is quite literally true to say that Mambo is an Open Source success story. The original program was developed by the Australian software company Miro, who released the code to the Open Source community under the terms of the GNU GPL in March of 2001. Until August of 2005, the development of Mambo was controlled by a loosely organized community of volunteers. During the course of development, Mambo grew in complexity and ability and won a number of awards together with a wide following of loyal users. Version 4.5.2 of Mambo was downloaded 1.8 million times!

In August 2005, the Mambo Foundation was formed, signaling a new era for the system. The Foundation is a non-profit corporation whose sole purpose is the growth and development of Mambo. The Foundation is run by the members of the community. Membership in the Foundation is open to all and entitles members to elect their representatives on the Board of Directors and to participate more fully in matters affecting the development of the project.

Non-profit structures like the Mambo Foundation have been used successfully by GNOME, Eclipse, Mozilla and many other Open Source projects. The non-profit corporate structure is popular, at least part, because it adds a level of stability and accountability absent in ad hoc community driven projects. The existence of the Mambo Foundation means that users of Mambo can be assured that the code will remain Open Source, will remain backed by a transparent and accountable organization, and will have the ongoing support and promotion that gives developers and business users the confidence to choose Mambo over other systems.

If you would like to become involved in the development of Mambo and be a part of the dynamic Mambo community, please contact us at

Whereabouts are you from? purchase lanoxin cheap prices Quatro spent her early years on the Sixties Detroit scene, in pioneering all-girl rock band the Pleasure Seekers, with her three sisters. Contemporaries included the MC5, Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper. “My energy level is 100 per cent Detroit. All the bands had this foot-on-the-gas approach. We’re gone and we don’t stop.” She was only 15 when she turned professional, yet says she saw little of the debauchery that underpinned the local scene. “We did have safety in numbers, cause we were sisters together. Wayne Kramer from the MC5 told me all the bands were a little bit pissed off that we wouldn’t fool around. He said, 'Boy, oh boy, we all wanted to get you.’ We kind of kept aloof, a little bit tough. I took myself serious, I learnt to play bass. I’ll hold my own against any other musician, and that’s the attitude I pushed out there. I remember an early gig, one guy danced close to me and stuck his tongue out in a very rude gesture. I took my bass and hit him over the head. I didn’t knock him out but he didn’t do it again. You stake your boundaries.”
