What do you do?
Mostly Symfony development in PHP. If the site has moving parts, I’m often the one moving them. I’m heavily involved in the Apostrophe CMS project.
Before that I built lots of other things, like the gd library and the WWW FAQ and Mapedit and blah and blah and blah, but what have I done for you lately?
What do you wish you did?
This is an extraordinary time in my life.
Professionally speaking, though…
more product, less project. I prefer helping individuals for the joy of it and then generalizing that to billyuns and billyuns of people as a business model, rather than helping individuals for a large project fee and hoping the politics pan out.
Have you ever been to a BarCamp before? If so, which one(s)?
Nope.
If you were to lead a session, what would it be about?
Testing websites on your very own Mac. Uploading stuff to a server somewhere just to find out if your PHP is valid? Totally for the birds.
Give us one interesting fact about yourself!
I spend several nights a week on the salsa dance floor. It’s the hardest thing for me, or it was, and it’s been incredibly good for me. These facts are related.
