Before I start to give you an outlook for 2012 I would like to show you what I'm currently doing.
1) Joomla! extension development:
I'm the developer of the 3 Joomla! extensions Discussions, Marketplace and Primezilla. This means 3 components plus a few supporting modules. Because of the major changes between J1.5 and J1.6/1.7 I'm currently maintaining 2 versions for each of my extensions. That's a lot of stuff to write and test for each release.
2) Ruby on Rails:
I'm also doing some Ruby on Rails development. As my first bigger project in Ruby on Rails I'm setting up the social network fuldany.de (german language) for my hometown Fulda. Its called "Fuldany", derived from Fulda, Germany.
3) Mobile devices:
I started to write apps for my Joomla! extensions and my new project Fuldany. First there will be Android apps followed by Windows Phone apps.
4) Freelance projects:
Yeah, even I need some money :-) Sometimes I'm working on projects which are offered to me. This can be everything. Developing software, writing documentation or specification and so on.
5) Community Management:
I'm running the online community italobikes.com (for friends of italian motorcycles). That means I have to deal with everything around community management, software, marketing and so on.

Marketplace, the Joomla! classified ads extension, is now available in Version 2.2.2. Of course it's available for FREE! Just go and get the latest and greatest version from the Downloads area.
Marketplace 2.2.2 is a bugfix release and available for Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 1.7.
In Marketplace 2.2.1 some files and classes have been renamed due to a name conflict with other extensions. Unfortunately I forgot one file and that caused the category sort in the backend not to work.
This bug is fixed in Marketplace 2.2.2.
No new features have been added to Marketplace 2.2.2 compared to 2.2.1.
