I started developing with PHP 3 at the end of '98 and, apart from a 1,5 year intensive Python mission, I've never been far from PHP, following this list for about 14 years. I have been lucky to travel the world to various PHP conferences to speak about subjects like: PHP extension creation, PHP Data Structures, Advanced debugging techniques or about the PHP APM extension that I created in 2009. Professionally, I have been a core developer of the Open Source eZ Publish CMS (later eZ Platform then Ibexa DXP) before being a total independant freelancer. Today, I'm doing 40% of C development developing the Blackfire PHP extension, and for other customers: 40% of PHP and 20% of sysadmin. Not an author of any major Open Source library, but I frequently contribute improving the components that I use, this includes PHP as well. Last time I broke a lot of testsuites in the PHP ecosystem was when I introduced the PHP notice: "Array to string conversion in...". I remember that change pissed off some library/framework authors, but it was for a good reason :) I hope that I can bring back to PHP what it gave to me for more than half of my lifetime! Cheers, Patrick
