It's already all over town, so here comes finally the announcement: Kore and me left eZ Systems officially by the first of April. We already wanted to announce this earlier, but there were still some things in progress, which needed to stabilize before we could do so. Here we go now, with some really exciting news …
By first of April Kore and me officially terminated our contract with eZ Systems. For the next three months, we'll be funemployed and fully concentrate on our diploma thesis's. What comes after that, well, keep reading further … ;)
I want to thank eZ Systems and especially all the smart guys I worked with in the past 5 years. It was a cool time, with lots of inspiring technology discussions and also great parties. However, it's time to concentrate on something new now. And this also means many exciting changes of which 2 are revealed in the next two sections of this post.
Derick, Kore, Sebastian and me were the driving forces behind the eZ Components project for the past years. With Kore and me, the last members of the core development team of this project have left eZ Systems. But this does by far neither indicate the end of the project nor the end of our contribution to the project.
Instead, we agreed with eZ Systems on proposing eZ Components to the Apache Software Foundation under a new name. Ladies and gentleman, we proudly present the Zeta Components project!
For further details, please refer to Kores blog entry on Zeta, to my announcement of this process on share.ez.no and to our proposal on the Apache Incubator malinglist.
Kore and me mainly terminated our work contract with eZ Systems so early this year, to finalize our diploma thesis's. But we are also in the process of founding our own company, together with Manuel. Yeah, it's finally out! :)
This new company will focus on B2B services around the PHP quality life cycle. We will offer consulting, training and support for all matters of high-quality PHP. This for example includes software architecture consulting, developer trainings on various levels, support with implementing quality assurance processes and more.
Under the same hood, we will also offer support for the Zeta project in terms of consulting, training and payed development.
I'm excited to have experts like Kore and Manuel on board and I'm happily looking forward to some really cool months any years.

Where do the eZ Components go?
Like Toby wrote in his blog, he and me left eZ Systems last month, to focus
on out diploma thesis and for some new challenges. But where does that leave
eZ Components?
Goodbye Cologne
As many of you may already have noticed, there will be a big change in my
career as a professional software engineer and architect this summer. Together
with Kore and Toby I am in the process of founding a company. The focus
of this company will be on
Qafoo - The PHP quality ninjas
As announced earlier in this blog, Manuel, Kore and me are in the process of founding our own company. Now it's time to present the name we have thought out for this operation. We are Qafoo - The PHP quality
ninjas. Isn't that cool? :) So, let me try to explain the origin of this name here. Feel invited to comment on our idea and to give us some inspiration.
Arbit? Service please!
It's only two weeks left, until Qafoo, the company by Kore, Manuel and me, will officially start. Time to reveal another topic of our service repertoire: Consulting, training, support and payed development for Arbit, your all round project tool of choice.
