Maybe, there’s microbiotic life on Mars – but there’s definitely life on Planet PHP: An aggregator of Weblogs of well-known PHP developers, including the ZZ/OSS Weblog. No need to browse every single Weblog, just visit Planet-PHP and you know what the PHP aliens are doing in PHP universe 😉

Jan has released “lighttpd a secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server

Development on the next major relase of the ZZ/OSS Installer Client (ZIC) 1.1.0 is in full swing. Most notably, there will be
The roadmap in our Wiki will tell you the details.
ZZ/OSS CEO Sandro Zic will present a session about Free Software in the Knowledge Society at the first LOTS event, a kind of Swiss LinuxTag.
Come to Bern at February 18th and hear about the following:
This talk will concentrate on an often neglected aspect that the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community introduced to society: A new organizational form of knowledge work in networks of excellence. Due to the fact that FOSS developers and projects act in distributed and heterogenous knowledge networks and furthermore collaborate in self-organised groups, they serve as the prototype elements of the emerging Knowledge Society.
Sandro has presented this talk at LinuxTag 2003 – but don’t expect it to be the same, because the presentation style is interactive, with Sandro discussing most of the aspects with the audience. Thus, the session itself is a show case of impulsive knowledge work inspired by the spirit of the FOSS community.
If you want to write an extension for PHP5, use PECL_Gen and read the documentation – it makes writting extensions much easier.
OSCOM has organized a hackathon/sprint on January 22nd and 23rd, 2004, at the ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Henri has posted the IRC logs of day one and day two.
Oh, what’s it about the OSCOM lemming effect? Discussed on day one:
(11:09:08) bergie: Michii is expecting to see a “lemming effect” if Epoz
goes to OSCOM and showcases that “leading CMSs” are implementing it
(11:09:13) bergie: …others would probably follow
An Economic Analysis of Scientific Research Publishing:
The report has been published to support constructive dialogue between key players in the scientific publishing field – publishers, researchers, academic institutions and funders. The ultimate aim of this dialogue would be to develop a publishing system that meets the needs of all groups, and best promotes the public good of scientific work – that is, disseminates research outputs to all who have an interest in them.
A good overview of problems, believes, solutions in scientific e-publishing, but the latest innovative incentives and projects are not mentioned – what about Weblogs, Creative Commons???
