What a week for symfony project! Hundreds of developers gathered in Paris for Symfony Live 2011 conference, attending tens of technical sessions, discussing the future of Symfony2 and getting in touch with other community members.

A new way to download and install Symfony2 based on distributions was unveiled during the conference. In addition, at the closing keynote, symfony project showed its brand-new visual identity and the new symfony.com domain. This new design is already being adopted in Symfony2 code.
