Today I started a new project on Google Code through which I (and maybe others, everybody is welcome to join) will provide community-driven maintenance releases of eZ Publish. Versions 4.2.1 and 4.1.5 are scheduled early April.
Check out the project space for more information.

The last Friday of October I passed the PHP 5 certification exam of Zend, in the John Cordier Academy (part of Telindus) in Haasrode, close to Leuven where I am living. Today I checked the Zend website and indeed, I am listed now in the PHP Yellow Pages. Cool!

Yesterday morning I received a review copy of the new book eZ Publish 4 – Enterprise Web Sites Step-by-Step from Packt Publishing. About two weeks ago, fellow eZ community member Bruce Morrison posted an early review of this book, which was overall not very positive.
Curious as I was, I’ve read the introductory parts and the first chapter, called “Installing eZ Publish”.

Although it’s certainly not a recommended practice, I’ll share with you how to make eZ Publish 4.1.3 run on PHP 5.1.2.

Recently I decided to add a one-sentence informational message to the contribution pages and project pages of many of the eZ Publish extensions I wrote in the past, that are still in use and which I’m willing to further maintain and improve.
Paid maintenance and support are available, contact kristof.coomans@telenet.be for conditions and pricing.
My goal was to let people know that there is more available than just the free (GPL-licensed) code which comes without any guarantees. Getting some small money out of support and guaranteed maintenance versions that are compatible with new eZ Publish versions, would give me eventually a bigger margin to contribute more free code and improve what exists already.
However, eZ Systems decided against this. I received a mail from them to notice that my message would be removed, because the community is not a place for commercial messages. I do not agree with their decision though, as I think it’s just about sharing information (I did not fill the whole description field with commercial/marking “blablabla” talk). Sharing this kind of information is probably a privilege for eZ Systems partners only. Isn’t everybody who contributes a partner in some sense, even if you don’t contribute fees?
I say bye to eZ Projects, since I do not want my extensions’ description to be censored this way. Bye to the ez.no contribution section as well, which was supposed to be closed actually already for a long time in favor of eZ Projects.
I’m really wondering how long it will take until I turn my back to all other things that contain “eZ” in their name.
