Three weeks after we launched SensioLabs connect, we are pleased to announce a few new features.

Let's celebrate our 1000th user on SensioLabs Connect!

The Symfony project relies on volunteer efforts from many people around the world. I'm very grateful to everyone who contributes to the Symfony project but unfortunately, not all contributors are equal. The contributors who write code are the most well-known but how can we also reward all the other community members who dedicate some of their precious time to the Symfony project?

As of today, using symfony1 and git together becomes much more easier as there is now and official symfony1 Git repository.

For the third year in a row, the [Symfony Camp UA conference](http://2011.symfonycamp.org.ua/) is being organized in Kiev, Ukraine. This year, the conference will take place on October 29. [Registration](http://bit.ly/qKJUcD) is free!

Only one month to go: for the third time, the Symfony Day will take place in Cologne.

Last week, Tuesday September 6th, the first and inaugural social meetup of the Symfony User Group in Los Angeles happened. The meetup was organized and sponsorized by the awesome guys at ChowNow and UseAllFive, who provided the venue, chow and drinks! Some managers of the Los Angeles PHP User Group joined the party.

Thursday is the day! That day, Symfony2 will be released. Of course, we don't want to let that pass without attention. So aside from the obvious "OMG IT'S OUT I NEED IT NOW" shout in the office that day, why not join fellow developers to celebrate the release of Symfony2? Several launch parties are scheduled already, and if there isn't one in your area, we invite you to organize one yourself!

Not yet decided what to do for the summer holiday this year? Do you just feel like going to the country of pizza, pasta, beautiful women and attractive men? Or are you more into contributing to Symfony2 and it's future? Whatever the reason you may have, next week is a good time to be in Italy. More specifically: Cesena. Because next week (July 29 and 30), the Symfony2 CMF Camp will take place there. A two-day meeting to talk, discuss, code, eat, drink and have fun.

The one where we reveal the Symfony 2.0 release schedule.
