Hey phpBB community, It has been a long time since I logged in here (I haven’t checked, but it must’ve been years). I’ve had great years here at phpBB back in the days of phpBB2 as a user, Support Team Member and Support Team Leader, and even though I have moved on since, phpBB and…
I think the idea started years ago. In the orinal Dutch PHP usergroup, we discussed it, but we never did it. Lack of manpower to pull it off, but I guess also a lack of willpower to want to pull it off. About 1.5 years ago, PHPBelgium truely kicked off and since they were already…
Change My colleague Mike already posted about 2010 being a year of change for him and I feel similar in some respect.

I might well have done the same thing, had I encountered the code that was changed. Let me explain the issue. Our application makes heavy use of external API’s, usually SOAP webservices, to…
I arrived on friday night and was picked up by Bittarman from the airport. He brought me to the speakers dinner where I joined for a very nice dinner. The only disturbing thing was seeing Scott drinking only water ;). After a great dinner, we moved on to “the Lass”, the location of the pre-conference…
