Symfony is popular all over the world and Ukraine is no exception. One of the signs of the popularity of symfony is the Symfony Camp event that is taking place in Kiev on July 3 2010. A big variety of topics are covered by speakers from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.

In February many people gathered in Paris to witness the unveiling of the first preview version of Symfony 2. If you were not able to attend, or were there but want more, then mark June 22 or June 23 in your calendar. For those dates, an online conference will take place named The State of Symfony 2.

The Spanish symfony community is proud to announce the first symfony conference organized in Spain.

If you were at Symfony Live in February, you might have already heard about it. Or even if you weren't, you might've read the blogposts, the tweets or heard about it on IRC: The most popular open source discussion forum software, phpBB, was considering using symfony for their new version 4 software. With this in mind we are happy to inform you that a rather big delegation of the symfony core team will be attending and speaking at the phpBB Libertyvasion Conference in New York (USA) in August.

This post is about one key aspect of the Symfony 2 philosophy. Hopefully, it will help you better understand the reasoning behind most of our decisions.

A conference such as Symfony Live always generates a lot of buzz. Especially when there are interesting announcements or rumours are made. This post will give you an overview of the community response to Symfony Live from various blogs and social networks.

For the second day of this Symfony Live, management was easier because everybody knew the place, people coming from far away were less jet-lagged which was better to follow the upcoming sessions! Moreover, for the staff we were, people could fortunately enter the place without queuing because of us! Sessions began with Lukas and Jordi who described us how they used symfony components like yaml, event dispatcher or request handler out of symfony.

Here is half of the way done at the moment. Symfony Live this year made us think our speakers can begin to live their own rock star life (see symfony stickers and you will feel confident about it). Yesterday morning at 8, some people were already waiting for their badge. Actually, they were right on time okay because the registration was beginning at 8... Unexpectedly it made us think at the first impression that the event were pushed from start by a high community pressure. For us, we could not be more pleased to see it.

Only a few more days until all eyes in the symfony world will be aimed at Paris for the Symfony Live conference. Since it is getting this close, we would like to share some interesting numbers with you about this event.

Today, I'm really excited to announce that Scott Chacon will be our guest at the Symfony Live Conference in February. Of course, he will host a session about Git.
