PHP Foundation March Press Announcement Released

The PHP Foundation once promised to update the Foundation's news every month, but something happened that caused the February news to not be released on time, except for some problems (the editor will explain later).This post will give you an idea of ​​everything the PHP Foundation has done since January.

PHP Basic Core Developer

One of the main goals of the PHP Foundation for 2022 is to find and hire developers to work on the core.

The first sponsored developer teams have now been found!

• Arnaud Le Blanc@arnaud-lb
• Derick Rethans@derickr
• George Peter Banyard@Girgias
• Ilija Tovilo@iluuu1994
• Jakub Zelenka@bukka
• Máté Kocsis@kocsismate

You might be surprised to see Derick Rethans' name in the list above.After all, when the PHP Foundation was established, he was the author of the PHP debugger xdebug. When the PHP Foundation was launched, he proposed to shift the focus of work to the core development and maintenance of PHP.To avoid a conflict of interest, he resigned from his current company position.

We are delighted that these people are joining the PHP Foundation and building PHP together.

Code of Conduct

All participants of the PHP Foundation, including administrators and developers, are expected to adhere to code specification standards.And invited Tobias Nyholm to supervise the work.

Tobias Nyholm is one of the leaders of Symfony's CARE team, ensuring that the developer's code of conduct is respected, and providing security services for developers to ensure their personal safety.

Next step

A suitable communication channel and development environment will be established next month, and several meetings will be held to discuss technical and organizational issues.

Because one of the goals of the foundation is to cultivate the next generation of internal developers, it will now focus on maintaining the features that users care about, so as to maximize the influence of the foundation.This will develop and ensure such planning in future meetings.

For the convenience of internal maintenance, developers should learn and update the internal code manual at any time to ensure that they have the latest knowledge and no omissions.Click to view PHP Internal Development Manual.

In terms of management, transparency in the organization's management structure and discussions will continue to be improved.

Other

The Foundation did not issue an announcement in February. In this announcement, I regret to inform you that the PHP Foundation has also issued a political statement in support of a certain country.I felt angry and sad about this at first.After communicating with the foundation Roman Pronskiy, Roman agreed to remove the description of the relevant leaders, he emailedChina said that it is true that there will be no 100% correctness in politics, and will not continue to issue such political declarations, and will also remove all the banners supported by the declaration.However, the statement about the relevant countries in the announcement will not be deleted at this time.

Of course, I still stick to a more pure open source and way of working.I still hope that Roman will delete relevant content. If he must speak out, it should be on other personal platforms.The author has not responded yet, and the article has not been revised.

Hope

The editor hopes that the PHP Foundation will become more and more mature.This kind of political statement may happen in the future, but the feng shui turns and I just hope that PHP will get better and better.
