Tobias Schlitt - a passion for php

Welcome to the open source website of Tobias Schlitt and especially to the blog. I'm publishing news and articles about the open source projects I'm involved in and information about other open source projects here. A main focus of this blog are projects around and implemented with the PHP programming language, as well as the language itself. But I'm also talking about other OS software.

• Webdav authentication, authorization and locking (en)

  We just released the 2008.2 release of the eZ Components yesterday. This stable release received 6 months of care by the core developers and many contributors. Thanks to all of you for the great work!My tasks for 2008.2 were dedicated to the Webdav component. This package allows you to easily integrate WebDAV access features into your applications. For the new release I implemented support for authentication and authorization, which allows easy integration into your existing environment. In addition, I added lock support, so the Webdav component now complies to WebDAV class 2 (and almost 3).

• 7 things - the virus (en)

  When I returned from vacation it looked to me like Planet-PHP blogs were all infected by some strange virus. Everyone seems to be keen on providing 7 things that many people don't know about him. Since I got "tagged" 2 times now (Kore and Sebastian), I'll jump on the bandwagon and also share some secrets with you.

  With a wonderful picture of a X-mas ElePHPant I'd like to say thank you for the great year, wish you all merry X-mas and a great start into 2009.

• Everything new (en)

  As you will have noticed, when reading this page, I brought my new website online. Although I was quiet satisfied with Serendipity, I decided by May this year, that I wanted to bring up a real website again. Since October 2005 I only maintained my web log and my photo gallery on Flickr, due to missing time and lack of motivation to raise a real website again. Now that changed, with switching to WCV.

• IPC 2008 wrapup and slides (en)

  The annual family party (aka International PHP Conference) took place a week ago. As usual I enjoyed it much, although I was a bit sick this year. The new location (the "Rheingoldhalle" in Mainz) is really great, but I had the feeling it was a little bit too large. Professional equipment was available and they had 4 large rooms, as well as some smaller ones, for talks. Even the food was very good, which was not the case for the past 2 years in Mörfelden (Frankfurt).

  So, finally I'm blogging again. I was quite busy with learning for my university exams in the past weeks, which turned out to be a good idea and was honored with best marks for both of them: "Logic based commonsense reasoning" and "Knowledge discovery in databases" (aka datamining). But that part would fit more into a private blog.

• FrOSCon 2008: Review of a marvelous conference (en)

  To make it short: FrOSCon 2008 was as expected - fantastic. :)

• Running free, an OpenMoko short report (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Sat, 29 Nov 2008 00:33:55 +0100

  On Wednesday I finally received my OpenMoko Freerunner, the smart phone every open source guy is dreaming of. I don't want to rant a lot about it, but just give you a rough overview on my impressions.

• Beware, FrOSCon ahead! (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Sat, 29 Nov 2008 00:33:55 +0100

  One of the most amazing German OS events is right in front of the door. Since the organizers of the FrOSCon expect a massive ammount of visitors, they ask everyone kindly to register on their website. If you did not do so, yet, take your heels and do so!

  While writing tests for the eZ Components Webdav component I stumbled over an issue with Konqueror 3.5.9. While we have working tests for the PUT request (uploading files) for version 3.5.7, this request type did not work with my recent Konqueror installation. Some debugging and request dumping in Lighttpd later I was quite sure that Konqueror was the issue.
