My pleasure !

 Hi folks,

Hopefully it is the same for you, here days are getting sunnier and sunnier !!

I wanted to mention this last PHP Foundation blog post, summarising 2024 pretty much.

I am glad the team of developers did impact so positively PHP quality, perception, innovation ...

in the eyes of the users. Looking forward for further positive events.

Apart of this, I recently dived in to sched-ext, the scx project which leverage Linux new capabilities of offering custom scheduler in the user space (so no longer need of risky kernel modules, all goes through BPF). It is interesting and a lot of very skilled individuals are involved, I try step by step to increase

the GPU side "intelligence" partly done in C, partly Rust, reflecting the push of more Rust components in the Linux kernel. We will see how it goes.

To note, the next major BSD event will be the traditional BSDCan from the 11th to the 14th of June, the schedule shoulw follow soon enough.

In the meantime, take care and see you soon ✋

Happy bird day to you !

 Hi folks,

Now I have 1 year of perspective as PHP Foundation member, I can tell it is exciting to be part of it and have a lot of hope for the unfolding current year. Stay tuned to the Foundation blog as always, you will know everything in due time.

Apart of this, I increased these last weeks my average LLVM commits, at least just in time for the 20 branching which occurred as planned the 28th. Especially for the recent RealtimeSanitizer, I am also personally excited for the development of TySan (not to confuse with TSan) ; sounds pretty promising. Still contribute to various rust related projects, pretty happy the FreeBSD ABI level had been increased recently it will unblock quite some few features which depended on it.

In the meantime, I wish you well, cheers ✌

Back to duty

 Hi,

Thanks to Failte Ireland for having pushed me to organise an event also for being a sponsor.

Now is the time to go back to my usual stuff, PHP Foundation and other FOSS contributions.

I m glad the attendees, the most important part, enjoyed their stay 👍. See you next.

CU in Dublin ...

 Hi folks,

The date is approaching quickly now :-) there is room for every taste, whether you re more focus on tutorials or the tech talks. Lastly, there is a social event to share some unforgettable memories. Thanks again to our sponsors for their invaluable trust.

Several months after becoming a PHP Foundation member (time flies as always), I still enjoy interacting with the PHP users, other members and scratching my head to solve issues :-) Rest is as usual, more or less so now the Foundation and I are waiting your venue with great please, see you soon.

It is open !

 Hi folks,

Some little updates regarding the upcoming EuroBSDCon 2024 ; the registration is now finally open !!

It had been a distant date ... up to now, making it more real 😊. The team will happily welcome you ! Thanks again to the sponsors !

Since the last time, I ve spent more time as a PHP Foundation Member, working on couple of bug fixes and mostly new features. Thanks to Sovereign Tech Fund helping to improve the overall security of the language. Anyhow, now we are more or less halfway before the 8.4 release still scheduled for November.

Besides that, I still like being versatile and contribute here and there, notably still some rust projects or rust itself whenever I can.

Until the next time, be well see you soon 😉

2024 = blossoming ?

 Hi folks,

I hope 2024 is starting great for all of you !

If you love belgium chocolates (or fries), as always, FOSDEM 2024 is the next event to go to ! If you can,

there is also AsiaBSDCon then BSDCan. After that, if you have still the stomach, there should be the next EuroBSDCon in ... Ireland ! The site is still under construction and informations are added when there is enough certainty (so do not bother to ask me anything, just subscribe to the newsletter 👌).

Also, I have the pleasure to be alongside with engineers I have the upmost respect towards to which

are the PHP Core Developers. I became myself one since recently and I ll do my best to bring what I can to this programming language.

I think this is it for now, and wish you a wonderful 2024 year to you all. Take care 👏
