walkah: Vancouver PHP Conference Wrapup

Vancouver PHP Conference Wrapup

Yesterday marked the end of the Vancouver PHP conference, which was a lot of fun and went quite well (I thought). I led two sessions : one on OpenID (with Johnny Bufu from SXIP). For those who don't know, I've been working a lot lately on getting OpenID support into Drupal - and it was nice to demo some of that work. I also covered how to use JanRain's PHP Library to OpenID-enable your PHP app (check out the slides here).

I also led a session on beginning Drupal module development. Those of you who attended the DrupalCon in Brussels may remember this as the infamous pants talk - always a crowd pleaser ;)

Thanks a lot to the organizers and sponsors from Vancouver PHP, I had a great time. Oh, and a special thank to Shane from ActiveState - part of the speaker shwag package was a license to Komodo IDE. I've heard good things about the latest Komodo, can't wait to check it out.

Is a 5.1 version expected?

Yes absolutely!

The big delay in getting a 5.1 version out the door, is I've been spending sometime getting things broken up and separated (we're looking towards putting at least the consumer / relying party bits in core for drupal6) and it's much easier to do that kind of overhaul while focusing on a single version. However, I'm getting close on that at which point i'll forward port everything to HEAD and Drupal 5. Stay tuned, i'll make some noise here as things progress :)

Thank you!

I (along with another developer) recently resumed work on the phpBB MOD, so I guess this makes us colleagues :D

The reason for me asking was the new phpbb-openid site running Drupal 5.1. I'll be looking forward to installing your module as soon as it's ready!

The conference must have been fun. I have never been to Vancouver, though.
