Meet Richard Gosler at Joomla World Conference 2026!
Richard's journey into web design began in the world of catalogue and advertising photography before launching his first website in 1998. Fascinated by the possibilities of the web, he went on to found Pixelhaus Creative Agency in 2003, building digital experiences for clients across a wide range of platforms and industries.
A chance conversation with a freelancer in 2015 introduced Richard to Joomla, and after attending his first JoomlaDay in 2017, he knew he had found his community. Since then, he has become an active contributor and volunteer, taking on increasing responsibilities within the project and helping to strengthen Joomla's global presence.
Today, as Joomla's Outreach Department Coordinator, Richard plays a key role in helping shape how Joomla is presented to the wider world, supporting community growth, engagement and awareness across the project.
At JWC 2026, Richard will present:
Building a Site with SP Page Builder for Beginners
Perfect for newcomers and aspiring site builders, this session will demonstrate how to create a professional Joomla website using SP Page Builder. Richard will guide attendees through the process, helping demystify website creation and showing how beginners can quickly gain confidence with Joomla.
Whether you're new to Joomla or looking for a simpler way to build beautiful websites, this session will provide practical knowledge you can apply immediately.

Meet Krishna Gandhi at Joomla World Conference 2026!
Krishna represents the next generation of open-source contributors helping shape Joomla's future.
Currently studying Computer Science Engineering, Krishna was selected as a Google Summer of Code 2026 contributor under the Joomla project, where he is developing the Translator Feedback Loop. This innovative Joomla extension is designed to learn from corrections made by volunteer translators, helping improve machine-generated translations over time and creating more accurate, community-driven localisation.
Working under the mentorship of experienced Joomla contributors Herman Peeren, Charvi Mehra and Stefan Wendhausen, Krishna is tackling a challenge that sits at the intersection of open source, artificial intelligence and multilingual collaboration.
Beyond GSoC, Krishna is also an active member of Joomla's Production Department Bug Squad, contributing to the ongoing quality and stability of the CMS.

At JWC 2026, Krishna will present:
Improving Translation with Domain Specific Translator Feedback
Discover how Joomla is exploring smarter translation workflows by combining machine translation with community expertise. Krishna will explain how translator feedback can be captured, analysed and reused to improve future translations while preserving the terminology and language preferences unique to each community.
