Blog - Open Source - schlitt.info

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.

• PHP library release survey (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 21 Jan 2011 18:24:03 +0100

  The Apache Zeta Components project is currently discussing how to adjust the old eZ Components release process to the ASF guidelines. During this discussions, quite some ideas came up on how the process could be optimized. This brought my interest to how users of PHP libraries would actually like to obtain library code for their projects. I will publish the raw results of the survey later, so all of the PHP libraries and frameworks can benefit. So please take some minutes and fill out the form! [Read full post…]

  On many conferences I still hear stuff like "hey, what about eZ Components" and people often ask my, what the state of the migration of eZ Components to Apache Zeta Components is. To make it short: eZ Components are dead, long life Apache Zeta Components! To answer the questions in more detail, I just published a status update for Apache Zeta Components on the new website of Apache Zeta Components, where can find what we did in the past months and what is currently going on.

• Highlight source code lines in LaTeX (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Sat, 04 Sep 2010 10:03:00 +0200

  I love LaTeX for any kind of text writing (actually typesetting), simply because it creates so nice looking and consistent layouts. And, of course, because I can write it in my favorite text editor. We use LaTeX especially for presentation slides at Qafoo, since the beamer package provides such a convenient environment. Combined with listings package, presenting source code snippets with nice syntax highlighting has never been easier. However, there was one problem we did not solve, yet, until some days ago: Highlighting certain source code lines of a listing on different slides. [Read full post…]

  by Tobias Schlitt on Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:36:43 +0200

  TwIRCd integrates Twitter with your IRC client by implementing an IRC server, mainly developed by Kore until now. During the past weekend, our unofficial PHPUGDO hackathon, I seized the chance to implement support for Twitter avatars for it. Pretty useless, but fun. ;) [Read full post…]
