Wednesday, December 31. 2008Monday, December 8. 2008Wednesday, September 3. 2008 A community around an open source project is always good. Talking to people in the community can give you support, or you can give back to the community by supporting others. But meeting the community in real life - and especially the people behind the project - gives it a whole new dimension. You can put names to faces, and make new friends. For symfony, the best moment for this is SymfonyCamp, a symfony-focused event in The Netherlands. Continue reading "SymfonyCamp 2008" Monday, September 1. 2008 I had the privilege of speaking at this years FrOSCon (23rd - 24th August) and this being the first time I speak there and indeed the first time I venture into Germany, I was very excited about the whole thing. Since this was also my first time at a non commercial conference (yes I've never been to fosdem and friends, very sad indeed  ) I wasn't really sure what to expect - especially if everything would run smoothly, how professional things would be and so on and so forth, this all spews from the fact that I have been involved in setting up large scale LAN parties and I've seen all sorts of breakdown and failures and was kinda expecting something similar to happen at FrOSCon; maybe I was being too pessimistic, given my old experiences of having people doing these kind of things for free.Continue reading "Wrapup of FrOSCon 2008" Tuesday, August 26. 2008 A few months ago I attended the Dutch PHP TestFest. It really shoud have been called the Belgian/Dutch PHP TestFest, since about half of the people there were from the Belgian PHP user group. One of them, Felix de Vliegher, even got a PHP CVS account because of the amount and quality of his tests. All in all, the TestFest was a great succes. Last week the Belgian PHP User group held their second meeting. Because the venue was fairly close to our office in Vlissingen, some of us decided to have a look. We were early, so there weren't many people yet, but soon the room began to fill up and in the end there were a little over 30 people. Not bad, given that this was only the second meeting. Continue reading "PHP Belgium meeting" Monday, August 11. 2008Tuesday, July 22. 2008 I'm sure most of you created one yourself once: the T-shirt, mousepad or mug with your custom print. There are so many webshops and creation tools available, Been there, done that. Ibuildings has been working on the Shapeways project, that is taking us one step (or even a few steps) further: the online creation of your own 3D objects.Continue reading "Shapeways: Print objects in 3D" Monday, June 23. 2008Monday, May 26. 2008Wednesday, February 27. 2008 We launched the Dutch PHP Conference 2008 last week and already received a lot of ideas to complete the program. Among them suggestions for talks about Zend Studio for Eclipse and new features of PHP 5.3. And of course many people want to see their favourite PHP guru talk. Most popular at the moment is Derick Rethans. Last year he presented the closing keynote about Test-driven development. And although he had a bad cough, his talk was very much appreciated and many want him on the program again. As we said, the wish of the community is our command for the open slots in the schedule, so we contacted Derick. Continue reading "Dutch PHP Conference - first result of Call for Ideas" |
