In a press release this week, The Joomla! Project announced that it has co-founded the Open Website Alliance.
Fellow co-founders include the following international community organisations which are also "dedicated to championing the cause of open-source software over proprietary alternatives": Drupal, TYPO3, and WordPress.
The Joomla! Project stated:
"Joomla is immensely proud to be a founding member of the Open Website Alliance, an initiative that aligns perfectly with Joomla’s mission, vision, and values. By championing freedom, equality, trust, community, collaboration, usability, and transparency, Joomla continues to foster a platform that is not only innovative but also inclusive and accessible to all."
"Through this alliance, Joomla and its partners are setting the stage for a digital future that prioritises the open web - a future where digital publishing and collaboration flourish on a foundation of open-source principles."
The Open Web Manifesto
"Adhering to the principles of the Open Web Manifesto, originally initiated by Drupal; the Alliance champions a web that empowers all, regardless of their background. It stands for a web that is free, decentralised, and requires collective participation and responsibility. The manifesto affirms the web as a protector of privacy, freedom of speech, and a catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship." Source: The Joomla! Project.
