Even Chancellor Merkel is using Joomla!

Chancellor Angela Merkel won in Germany’s national elections on Sunday. To help in the election campaign the conservative Christian Democrats formed a supporter team, who had their own community website: www.team2009.de.

This website uses Joomla! 1.5 with many extensions and 3rd party APIs, like Twitter, Google Maps, Flickr and YouTube. More than 27.000 people registered at that site.
