  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! [Read full post…]

• 6 essential PHP development tools slides from IPC/DLW (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  A little bit belated, but as promised during the session, I just uploaded my slides from the talk 6 essential PHP development tools in 60 minutes. Since there is so much to say I actually managed to get 4,5 tools through and for all of these it felt to be too few time. I think I should provide a workshop for the next conference [Read full post…]

  I just uploaded my slides from the talk Database abstraction with eZ Components. Thanks to the attendees for being so active and even borrowing me a notebook and an USB stick, since the beamer disliked my Thinkpad! :) The slides are CC by (see last slide for details). [Read full post…]

• Girl Geek Dinner right before IPC/DLW next week (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Next week the Dynamic Languages World conference (aka International PHP Conference Spring Edition) will be held in Karlsruhe, Germany. Nicole organized a Girl Geek Dinner right before the main events start (that means Monday evening). I really like the idea of Girl Geek Dinner, since it's a good attempt to raise the women rate on geek events, which is usually (sadly) extremly low. On the other hand I like to hang around, have some good meal, enjoy a beer and a good technical discussion. Therefore: +1 from my side for Girl Geek Dinner. :) [Read full post…]

• Removed 1100 photos from Flickr (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:34:46 +0100

  After some heavy discussions with Kore and others I researched about German law in respect to individual rights on photos yesterday. Thanks to Arne, who gave me a good starting point (German) for my research. In the end, Kore was mostly right with his interpretation, what made me remove about 1100 photos from my Flickr gallery. All of those showing people dedicatedly where I do not feel to have the explicit permission to publish their pictures. I'll try to explain the reasons, my personal issues and possibly solutions in this article. [Read full post…]

• PHP @ FrOSCon: This year we are a sub-conference - Call for papers (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  The PHP Usergroup Dortmund will again organize PHP @ FrOSCon this year. As usual this happens in cooperation with the PHP Usergroups Köln/Bonn and Hamburg. The Free and Open Source Conference 2008 is going to happen on August 23rd and 24th. Instead of the past 2 years, we'll not only have a dedicated project room. A dedicated PHP @ FrOSCon track will be a part of the FrOSCon main conference program. [Read full post…]

• Speaking at Dynamic Languages World (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  From May 26th to 28th this year Software & Support organizes a new conference called Dynamic Languages World. In contrast to the usual PHP Conference, which I usually attend, this conference tries to combine the communities around PHP, Python, Ruby, Groovy and JavaScript. I'm pretty curious about this kind of composite event and hope to get some cool new inspirations. Despite my interesst in those other languages and the concepts they have in terms of patterns, frameworks and application architecture/design, I'll be giving some talks in the PHP area: [Read full post…]

• Looking forward to PHP Unconference 2008 (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  The PHP Unconference 2007 was one of the most amazing events of the past year, head to head with FrOSCon. Therfore I'm pretty much looking forward to the second installment of the conference, which will take place on April 26th and 27th this year. I'm sure that again a large crowd of really nice geeks will attend and I'm especially looking forward to see many good friends there again. While we already traveled there with a good delegation of Dortmund usergroopies last year, it looks like we will be even more this year. Stay tuned for the Ruhrpott invasion, Hamburg! ;) [Read full post…]
