Announcement: Editor-in-Chief of Ibuildings Techportal

Wednesday, November 4. 2009

A few weeks ago I got a call from my employers, Ibuildings, asking me how I felt about changing my role a bit and taking on some of the functions of our PCE (PHP Centre of Expertise). This area of the company does some super-cool stuff and so I said I'd be interested. Fast forward a bit and I'm on a call with Ivo Jansch (our CTO, who also oversees PCE) talking about what kind of things I could be involved in. I cannot describe the surprise I felt when he asked if I would take on the role of Editor-in-Chief at our developer portal site, techPortal ... and of course I jumped at the chance.

I'll be picking up a few other community-facing functions for Ibuildings but techPortal is the headline news, I'm super-excited to be entrusted with this project as our existing Editor-in-Chief, Cal Evans moves on from Ibuildings. Now the announcement has been made I guess its real ... wish me luck :)

I would wish you luck, but you hardly need it! I’m sure you will do a great job and will be an awesome "community chick" to follow up on Cal’s "community guy" work.

way to go Lorna!

that’s "Community Gal" – a chick is a small fuzzy bird that grows into egg layer or dinner ;)

Congratulations Lorna! You’re an inspiration for other women in the PHP community!

Steve: I work full time and don’t take any additional contracts outside of that however my employers Ibuildings may be interested, and so we could work together that way? My contact details are on my about page if you want to get in touch, just let me know :)

Excellent, this plugin is PERFECT for our situation. We install WP into a jailcell from the customer and it has all the correct permissions for them to upload into the right areas but the wp-content folder isn’t owned by apache. The yoast fix-plugin-update plugin overlooks the ownership on the [...]

Ted: I must confess I agree but breaking backwards compatibility is very unhelpful so I can understand why it was implemented in this way

There is no mouse or other pointer device on your desktop. You must be an Opera user indeed :)

I would have preferred they reassign self:: to refer to the current class, and then allow parent:: to refer to the parent class. It gives better context about what you’re referring to. The keyword static:: doesn’t give any context at all. I find that awkward.
