Symfony Blog

In this series of articles I would like to present you FireSymfony, a Firefox add-on for debugging symfony applications inside the popular Firebug.

As many companies from around the world asked me how they can sponsor the event, we have worked on a sponsor guide, which is now available for download.

Sensio Labs have recently launched a symfony training partner program. And I'm very proud to announce that our first certified training partner is Solution Set in the USA.

This week symfony welcomed a new member for its core team. Besides, symfony project set up repository mirrors for the most important external libraries. In addition, another milestone was achieved with the 700th published plugin.

We now mirror the Propel, Phing, and Doctrine Subversion repositories.

Today, I'm happy to announce that Bernhard Schussek officially joins the symfony core team.

I have been the symfony Community Manager for just over two weeks now, but so far things have been silent. This has been for several reasons (new job, preparing for Symfony Day) but also to work out some plans I have. I have also received a couple of excellent ideas from the community, which I will be following up in the coming months.

Calm week for symfony core development, mostly focused on lime 2.0 tool. Meanwhile, plugins showed an intense development activity with hundreds of changesets and more than 27 updated plugins.

Symfony popularity continued growing this week as demonstrated by the five new symfony bloggers and the seven new plugins published. Doctrine integration also showed a remarkable activity, including a new combo build task that merges and deprecates six tasks.

Symfony project introduced this week its new community manager and detailed its future symfony 1.3 and 1.4 releases. In addition, symfony marketplace expanded with new developers available to hire and new symfony job postings.
