Lorna Mitchell has posted some great news about the article contest that the PHP Women are running - prizes!

Ivo Jansch has posted some great news to the Ibuildings blog today - things about the upcoming Dutch PHP conference.

Deimos, the administrator of Demonoid has announced that he is stepping down for good due to his preoccupation with ‘real-life’ issues.

Travis has just announced that he’s working on a book about Git, the version control system created for the Linux kernel by Linus Torvalds.  This is great news, as there currently isn’t anything else out there in dead-tree form to help folks get up and running with this incredibly powerful distributed version control system.

Andi Gutmans has some great news for Ubuntu users - the Zend Framework will be included in a future version of the linux distribution (Hardy Heron, Ubntu 8).
