szabesz Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Nikita Popov is about to leave JetBrains, which triggered the birth of the PHP Foundation in order to make sure there will be enough knowledgable and paid developers behind the PHP project: https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2021/11/the-php-foundation/ You can even apply for such a position ;) (just bad joke...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Great read! Thanks @szabesz. Hopefully we get this right. We can learn a lot from Apache, both what ASF have got right and the things they didn't get right. I loved this one ?: Quote Q: Does this have anything to do with Rasmus’s birthday?A: No, the Nov 22 date is just a coincidence. Nothing to do with Nikita’s birthday either, which is off-by-one, Nov 23. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Gretsky Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Can it be ProcessWire could be listed there? Do we have anything to contribute? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabesz Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 14 hours ago, Ivan Gretsky said: Do we have anything to contribute? Maybe money? I mean according to the article, that's the easiest way to do it (apart from spreading the message): https://opencollective.com/phpfoundation I think that currently there is no way to do it together but correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe Ryan could set up a way to pay a small extra for PHP foundation support. What I mean is that there could be an option in the Pro module checkout process for paying an extra $5 for PHP foundation support, so that he could sign up "ProcessWire as a supporter". But the $100/month option would probably be too much, and the OPTIONAL $5 per purchase would never cover it. If there was a $30/month option for small communities like us, that might work out well. Ryan could ask them for such a support option, theoretically... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabesz Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Related, so I did NOT want to create a new topic for it. Note: I am especially happy to see enums, as a think implementing state machines / statecharts is the way to go when developing "expandable systems". Not that personally I am into some large systems or anything like that, but ProcessWire is large enough from benefiting it, I think. For example, Java seems to have been having it for years: https://www.google.com/search?q=enum+for+state+machines Still, when I find the time, I will experiment with enums to see if I can use it to improve my coding. I hope I can :) Edited November 27, 2021 by szabesz the missing word NOT wa added.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
