Changes

When a moment of your life sounds like a David Bowie song, things often go well.

I’m leaving Sensio for a start-up company for which I will become the IT chief executive. That’s a great opportunity and a thrilling adventure. For the symfony users who read this, be reassured: That doesn’t mean that I will be leaving the symfony project. I have invested a lot in it and I strongly believe that symfony has a bright future; I want to go on contributing during some of my free time. I would like to go on writing plugins, or documentation, or giving talks and conferences about it. Besides, Fabien and I are still in good terms, despite my quitting his company, and he offered me to continue having a special role in the project. Lastly, my new company is building a very large website entirely with symfony, and I will have many opportunities to donate some code and documentation to the community.

There is a second important change in my life: I’m going to have a baby. In less than a month, if everyhing goes well, I will sleep much less and become a happy zombie.

So you can expect a little slowdown in my contributions until at least Christmas. But keep reading, I still want to redo the web…

    Congratz. I only find this one now. I hope that things will work out as you want them to, and I definitely will still want to keep you in on the symfony project, as I’ve really enjoyed your stay here in June for PHP Bootcamp. When we do another *Camp, we’ll need you here again ;)
