Very cool initiative! With such an amount of talented people at Ibuildings that already are doing those community related things, I can only say congrats to Ibuildings for supporting employees and with that, the PHP community as a whole.
As for the name, exPHPertise? 
Another great Initiative by Ibuidlings ! You guys rock at delivering top-notch PHP business without forgetting the community.
So, when is Cal sitting at Ibuildings recording his php-abstract podcasts ? Maybe that might be also a good idea, to bring the European PHP information to the people with podcasting, webinars or other online interactive initiatives. BTW, exPHPertise has my vote too.
Congratulations Ivo, sounds like an excellent initiative. I would think you would want to include something about fostering best practice methodologies: unit testing, continuous integration, etc. (or even more fundamental: using source control). There are clearly plentiful bad practice examples in the wild, it would be nice to have a "Best Practice" example to show.
Keep up the good work.
I definitely look forward to the new initiative! Especially to the training material as I want to dive very deep into PHP and I feel that this new initiative can get me deeper.
"Best practice" as Jason mentioned would be very helpful for me and lots of PHPers out there as well as all subject you mentioned in the post. It would be great to be able to learn more about software engineering in relation with web development.
Wouldn't be a good idea to sync this effort with Lukas Smith's emPHPower? Whatever happens is welcome and it will help to show for others the PHP is currently a mature language and has all the tools which make it enterprise ready.
That's not a bad idea, although I thought Lukas specifically mentioned that businesses weren't able to join. But I'll get in touch with him, surely there are ways to cooperate.
Nice! This is another great idea I wish I had thought of. Good luck.

I didn't post much of a wrap-up after ZendCon - partly because that trip ran into the start of another one and I only got home properly yesterday, and partly because something happened in California that I couldn't talk about until now. One thing I did w

Wow, what a rollercoaster ride 2008 was; in so many ways. The world faced the biggest financial crisis most of us have ever seen in our lives, the balance of power in the world shifted significantly and fuel prices both had an all time high and a 5 year l
