The conference, which is organized purely by open source enthusiasts on a voluntary basis, will take place from 2007-08-25 and 26. Location of the FrOSCon will again be the University of St. Augustin (near Bonn), Germany. - PHP UG Dortmund: Location change this week Hence our usual location, the HiccUp, has a large reservation, this weeks PHP Usergroup Dortmund meeting will take place at the "Boomerang" in Dortmund down town. This meeting will (because of the lack of wifi and power there) without notebooks. Sure you may bring yours, if you have a special problemor want to show something interesting, but it will not be the usual hacking session. For beer lovers, I recommend leaving the car at home, because Boomerang is an Australian bar and they have quite delicious beer (Fosters). ;) Beside that, they have also really delicious food. - eZ Components in German "Linux Magazin" The German "Linux Magazine" asked me a while ago to write an article about eZ Components for their special edition "Scripting 2.0" (dedicated to scripting languages). They published a shortened (and somewhat rephrased) version of the article online, as a teaser (German, of cause). - The "developer kit" The Mozilla Development Center has a new mascot called "developer kit": - Today in Dortmund: "HTTP(S) Load Balancing und High Availability mit Wackamole" Just a little reminder. Jan Lehnardt will give a talk on HTTP(S) Load Balancing und High Availability mit Wackamole today at the PHP Usergroup meeting in Dortmund. As usual, attending the talk is free of charge. If you are interessted to come around, please give us a short note via email, IRC (#phpug@EUIRC) or as a comment here. - Back to Windows... Today I needed to start up my VMWare to test some PHP stuff on a Windows XP installation. I was quite curious, how I would perform after more than 4 years completly without Windows. Here are my experiences... - Happy birthday PHP UG DO! Today the PHP Usergroup Dortmund turns 2 years and I want to congratulate with this small post! - Dangers of CSRF and XSS Ilia has written a very good article about CSRF and XSS attacks, how they work and how to prevent them for ez.no. - Object relation mapping in eZ Components I wrote an article, that introduces the relation featuresw of our ORM compoenent "PersistentObject" to you, using a practical example application. For me the coolest feature of PersistentObject is, that the component does not require you're ORM enabled classes to inherit from a certain base to allow your objects to be stored in a database (made persistent). PersistentObject simply allows you to configure any of your applications objects to be persistent and you keep a nice an clean OO structure. If you are interessted in learning more, just follow my trip into PersistentObject on ez.no. - A GTK2 UI for PHPUnit For my current exam phase at university, I wanted to have some tiny project where I can play around with, without caring too much, just to relax a bit in the evenings. When Kore infected me with some strange PHP-GTK virus ;) and someone mentioned on IRC, that it would be time to have a GTK UI for PHPUnit, I decided to take this one. So I played some hours with the PHP-GTK extension and voila, here we go with a first running version of a GTK driven test runner for PHPUnit.
