A week of symfony #480 (7-13 March 2016)

This week, Symfony organized a Virtual Hack Day to bring in new contributors to the Symfony Community. This was also the opportunity to give a push to the pending issues and pull requests, because the upcoming Symfony 3.1 version will achieve the "feature freeze" status at the end of this month. Meanwhile, the SymfonyLive Paris 2016 conference announced its full program.
