Episode 71: Bespoke Tokens
Feb 03, 2016 @ 15:23:39

The /Dev/Hell podcast, hosted by PHP community members Chris Hartjes and Ed Finkler, has posted their latest episode - Episode 71: Bespoke Tokens.

On this episode you get twice the guest because we invited two of the three folks behind WonderNetworks to join us.

Paul Reinheimer and Gemma Anible came on (and even did video via Skype so they could tell when we were getting bored) and talked about how WonderNetworks got started, Paul and Gemma’s preferred development style and Paul seemed determined (as he always is) to tweak Chris.

Topics mentioned in the episode include (obviously) WonderProxy, space leggings, BulletPHP and PHP-GTK. You can listen to this latest episode either through the in-page audio player or by downloading the mp3. Be sure to subscribe to their feed if you enjoy the episode and want yo hear more.

Engine Yard Is Sponsoring Composer
Aug 27, 2014 @ 16:50:24

According to this new post to the EngineYard blog, they're announcing their formal sponsorship of a tool that has revolutionized the way PHP libraries and packages are used: Composer.

Open source is a big deal at Engine Yard. Originally founded as a Ruby company, most of our early work was in the Ruby community. Since acquiring Orchestra in 2011, we have been investing in the PHP commmunity and are continually on the look out for ways to give back. So I’m thrilled to be sharing the latest news on this front. [...] We care a lot about PHP and we want to continue our mission of supporting key pieces of infrastructure in the communities we serve.

Their support is coming in the form of a community grant provided over the next twelve months. This fund ($15k) will provide support for the continued development of the project and Nils Adermann, one of Composer’s principal developers.

Engine Yard Sponsors the Lithium Framework
Jun 14, 2012 @ 18:25:58

According to this new post on the EngineYard blog, they've decided to become the official sponsor behind the Lithium PHP framework, a project that's been going for several years but just hasn't seen the adoption of other frameworks that are PHP 5.3-centric.

We are proud to announce that Engine Yard is now the first official sponsor of the open source project, the Lithium PHP framework. We believe that Lithium holds a great deal of promise and we want to help it reach its full potential. Therefore, not only are we pledging our financial support, we will be working together to promote the framework to our customers and partners and the community at large through conferences, meetups and webcasts.

The post names some of the core development team (including Garrett Woodworth and Nate Abele) and suggests following the Lithium and EngineYard twitter accounts for future details.

Sebastian Bergmann's Blog:
On Sponsored Open Source Development
Feb 17, 2011 @ 16:01:15

In a new post to his blog Sebastian Bergmann talks about an experiment that Derick Rethans is doing with concern to the Xdebug project and some of the bugs that have been found with it. Derick is trying out a campaign to raise pledges in exchange for bugfixes - a sort of "sponsored open source" idea.

While both Derick and I live and breathe Open Source and like to hack on code things like work and private life do interfere with the development of our Open Source software projects. So with development efforts like this we can either wait for the time when "we have nothing else to do" or try to find support from the people that use the development tools we create on a daily basis that allows to work on new features for said tools sooner rather than later. [...] A platform such as Pledgie, where many individuals can pledge small (and not so small :-) amounts of money could be the solution we are looking for [as support].

Sebastian also gets into detail about the bug that has been keeping Xdebug from cooperating 100% with the profiling functionality it offers and some missing information. A few lines missing from the output are causing trouble with more current versions of KCacheGrind because of stricter adherence to the file format's standards. If you've considered giving to a project, whether this is a bug that's bothered you or not, the Xdbug campaign could always use the motivation.

ServerGrove Blog:
PHP Community Confernece
Jan 21, 2011 @ 14:57:17

On the ServerGrove blog today there's a new post talking briefly about one of the latest entries into the PHP conference scene - the PHP Community Confernece - and their involvement.

When we first heard about this conference and what it was going to be we knew we wanted to be involved. It's about community, workflow, problem solving and PHP, right up our alley! There is no way we are going to miss this one; this is exactly what was missing in the PHP conference circuit. [...] Let's face it, the stories are the best part of any conference, and here we will have a conference that promises only stories. Just icing, no cake :) We'll take it.

The conference, happening April 21st and 22nd in Nashville, will be about telling the stories of your software development, not just about the tech. For more information check out the conference website at phpcon.org.

Symfony Live Conference 2010 updates
Dec 15, 2009 @ 17:42:22

Fabien Potencier has posted some updates to the Symfony blog about the upcoming Symfony Live event (in 2010) related to the sessions, their Training Day and some new sponsors.

Since the last time I blogged about the next Symfony Live Conference, I have a whole lot of exiting news. First of all, because I receive a lot of questions about the language of the conference, I want to say again that the whole conference will be held in English only. As a matter of fact, I can tell you than people from 24 countries have already registered for the conference.

Updates to the sessions include the addition of Matthew Weier O'Phinney and Dustin Whittle. The Training Day will be right before the conference and will have five tracks going at once. Check out the post for more on the updated sponsor listing.

PHP TestFest Ramps Up!
May 08, 2009 @ 17:09:50

Zoe Slattery has posted some about how the TestFest effort is going this year and what the response has been from the PHP community in general.

It feels like a long time since we started on this road in February 2009. So much has happened since then ... and now we are two days away from the 9th May when several European groups will run events. We have 22 groups registered in all, Munich and Quebec have already run successful events. [...] It's great to see user groups helping out with PHP development in this way - I'm just amazed and humbled by the enthusiasm and talent of PHP users.

She takes a second to thank sponsors - including Microsoft and Ibuildings (including their swag). The event will last through the end of June and test numbers will be calculated and evaluated for inclusion quickly after. You can get an idea of the current testing runs here.
