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. - 1 of 1000 Since some others already blogged to be within the first 1000 Zend certified engineers, I feel to raise my 2ct, too. I took the exam during the PHP Quebec conference in Montreal last March. I was actually suprised to pass the exam without any kind of preperation, after Marcus, John and some others convinced my to have a try (it was free there, so I took the chance). At least that shows that you should be able to pass the exam with real-world PHP experience. - 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. - A sensible place for a fluent interface First of all: Happy new year everybody!! - A joyride to eZ Components beta2 About a month ago it's been the time, where we were about to release the first beta version of the eZ components, the new - new BSD licensed - enterprise open source library. A bit under stress (as usual, who doesn't know) we brought out beta 1, missing some refactoring and unification work, testing and documentation improvements. - eZ Components and PEAR Finally we managed to release a first beta of eZ systems' new open source product eZ components. As I'm part of the development team, it's a great pleasure for me to see our work becoming ready after all. The project went quite good from my viewpoint, although it was a bit hard to manage work and university in paralell after the great summer vacation time (we have around 2-3 month of free time here). - SF roundup On Monday I arrived back in Germany from the Zend/PHP Conference & Expo. Other people already posted detailed round ups 1 2 3 on this great event, so from my side only few words on the actual event: It was damn cool! :) The conference itself was a very well working mixture of business and geek talks, the sessions were chosen really good. As usual I met a whole lot of old friends (like Markus Börger, John Coggeshall, Christian Wenz and even Sterling Hughes) and made another lot of new ones. The location was really nice and the events they organized were real fun. So, all in all: My appreciation to Zend for this great event! - PEAR presentation slides from San Francisco online I recently uploaded my slides from the PEAR introductional presentation I held 15 minutes ago here at the Zend/PHP Conference and Expo in San Francisco. The slides should also appear in about 30 minutes on the PEAR websites support section. - Zend/PHP conference and expo Yesterday I arrived here in San Francisco, together with Gregor Streng from Mayflower, for the Zend/PHP conference and expo. The flight was a bit hard (12 hrs sitting is not what you really want to do) and the jetlag caught me yesterday afternoon during dinner, but overall I'm really happy to be here. :) I already saw parts of Frisco when driving to dinner and the Californian environment ist really nice (although the weather is quiet cloudy). As usual there are lots of wellknown people here and I expect to have lots of fun with all those collegues and friends form the community. Since I missed to by an AC adapter (I was sure to be able to rent one here) I'm currently out of power most time, but I hope to fix that soon, so that I can upload some photos and write some more on the conference. - Upcoming conferences After some conference-free time over the summer, I'll attend 2 conferences until the end of the year:
