International birthday wishes for Joomla as it turned 5 years old today! On September 1st, 2005 the joomla.org websites were launched, at which point Joomla was was an unknown name to the world.

Right now, Joomla has been downloaded 18,317,160 times (at a current speed of about 190,000 downloads per week), an estimate of 1.75 million websites use Joomla and exactly  5519 extensions have been submitted to the Joomla Extensions Directory. Furthermore, the search term 'Joomla' is typed in to Google approximately 6.4 times per second (yes, that means that if you finish reading this blog, over 300 people have searched for 'Joomla' on Google!).

In my opinion there are few better ways to end these birthday wishes than the following quote from the OSS CMS Report 2009:

“[...] it is hard to reach any conclusion other than this: Joomla! is the web’s most popular open source content management system.”

Congratulations once more, Joomla!
