Since I think that Bari in May must be beautiful, I accepted to go there from May 19th until May 21st. I'm pretty much looking forward to this event, since it means to get to know a lot of new people. If you are located in Italy and are interested on PHP, it would be a pleasure, if you join my talk about eZ components there. - No Linuxtag for me this year :( I'm sad to say, that I won't be able to attend Linuxtag this year. :( I've been there for the past 2 years, maintaining the PEAR exhibition booth and giving several sessions. This year I'm much too packed with university to go there. Luckily Stefan Neufeind, a fellow PEAR developer, stepped in and took over my talk proposal "News from PEAR" for the Practical Linux forum, where Stefan will give a short introduction into the actual state of the PEAR project. Thanks, Stefan! - PHP at FrOSCon - Call for papers! The FrOSCon (Free and open source conference) is an event organized by the faculty for Computer Science of the college of higher education Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (24./25. Juni 2006). The PHP usergroups Köln-Bonn and Dortmund will organize a PHP room under the hood of the FrOSCon. This will give all PHP enthusiasts a meeting place and allows us to have a special PHP talk track during the 2 day conference. - eZ Components in Dortmund My local PHP usergroup convinced me to repeat the eZ components introduction I gave in Frankfurt a wile ago. The session will take place on Thursday, April the 20th in the office of eZ systems GmbH. Start is 18:00 and it will take about 2-3 hrs. After that, you can ask questions, make me show more examples, try out eZ components and much more. Everyone is welcome to join us. The entrance is free. To better calculate the number of attendants, please inform us about your coming on our mailinglist. - eZ components talk in Frankfurt next week As I already announced before, I will be giving a talk about eZ components at the PHP Usergroup FFM meeting upcoming Thursday. I will first present some background information on our architecture, the goals, the design and the possibilities with eZ components. After that, I plan to show a little example application which is build upon the library to let people see how it works. Finally I will be available for questions, feedback and possibly to show examples for specific components. - eZ Components talk at PHP usergroup Frankfurt I'll be giving an overview on the eZ components at the PHP usergroup Frankfurt meeting on March 16th. If you want to get a life introduction, have questions or want to give feedback, feel invited to join this event! - Back from Norway Norway is a somewhat strange country. When I got there - 2 weeks ago to work with Amos, Derick, Fred and Ray on the eZ components - it had the expected amount of snow. A few days later, there was nothing anymore. We had positive celsius values and the weather was really crappy... until Monday. Since then it has been snowing all the time and yesterday we left when it looked like this: - Early bird catches the worm - eZ components workshop I just noticed that we offer an early-bird-discount for all of our trainings. This obviously includes the eZ components workshop I will be giving on March 6th and 7th. If you book until 1 month before the course starts, you still save 10% of the workshop price. So take your heels and join me in March! :) - eZ Components workshop in Dortmund - Germany As Derick already wrote, we release the first RC of our new product eZ components yesterday. Beside the unification of the API, we enhanced several components with additional features and refactored smaller parts here and there since Beta2. I feel highly satisfied about how our work evolved in the past 6 month. - eZ Publish Conference 2006 - or Norway in summer The call for papers of the eZ publish Conference 2006 (taking place in Skien - Norway this June 21-23) is not closed, yet.
