Announcing the PHP Foundation's new Executive Director: Elizabeth Barron.

Some of you PHP old timers will recognize her. Some of the real OGs will even remember PHP Appalachia (but we don't talk about PHP Appalachia, do we?). She's been doing real FOSS supporting work in this space all this time and I for one am really excited to see what she's able to do for PHP in the coming years.

Anyone know if there's a canonical place for @krakjoe@phpc.social's busfactor post? I've got it on Web Archive, but the original seems to be gonzo.

Prepping slides for PHP UK (which I haven't spoken at since 2013), and I've been on this project long enough that I've been starting to find timelines like this fun if for nothing other than "Fuck, this industry ages you" purposes.

RE: @offby1@wandering.shop

I understand how we got here, and why. Unfortunately this is yet another paver stone along the pathway to the defeat of Open Source by the very thing which owes its existence to it.

A melancholy day.

RE: @saramg@fosstodon.org

Search Monkey was a cool project to work on. It was just.... engineers doing engineer shit with no concern for profitability, just: How can we make our own product more useful and usable?

Shame what we got instead was Gemini embedded into every google query.
