In 10 days...

 Hi folks,

We are approaching the release of PHP 8.4, the 3rd release I am involved into as a PHP member and the 1st from a PHP Foundation's perspective. There are enough new features but the most noticeable are the Property Hooks and the HTML5 parsing (in my opinion of course). You can find a nice summary here for example.

About FreeBSD 14.2, scheduled for next month, one noticeable piece for me is the optimisation for arm64 via SIMD. I invite you, in that regard, to watch the EuroBSDCon 2024 talk related to this topic.

Wish you well and see you next time ☝

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 πŸ‘. 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.

Count down ...

 Hi folks,


Still 100 days, as I write, before the EuroBSDCon event ! If you re curious how gold the Guiness beer is, I would advise to come pay a visit πŸ™‚ in all seriousness, the program is diverse enough to please a large audience spread among the 3 BSD.

For accommodation, I would advise to book quickly as possible if not done already, we will happily welcome you.

See you next time !

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 πŸ˜‰

You do not know everything ...

 Hi folks,


Hope you are well since the last time.


Some progress related to EuroBSDCon 2024 in Dublin, now you can finally see its official logo, shoutout to SinΓ¨ad Woods aka baboom βœŠ, also thanks to our sponsors to trust us this year again.

As for my PHPFoundation time, since January, I m pretty glad, only I do realise I have a bit the tendency to judge too quickly parts of PHP I do not fully understand, I need to do better and see the bigger picture. Beyond that, again, I have a good time interacting with various contributors and the other members of the Foundation, I hope it is reciprocal.

At last, I have been increasing my activity in LLVM and Rust a bit, more PR than average had been merged.

The rest is more or less as usual, in the meantime I wish you well and see you next time !
