PHP

Currently I'm at MySQL's staff meeting at Orlando. As you most likely read: Our CEO Marten Mickos announced that SUN is going to buy MySQL AB. I joined MySQL just in October and it's the first time for me to go to a company meeting, so I'm still in some kind of orientation phase, meeting many people where I only knew the name and now the company becomes way bigger. But I'm not only having the chance to meet people from MySQL now, but SUN also sent a bunch of guys over to Orlando, so Ulf, Andrey and me from MySQL's PHP team had James Gosling joining our table at lunch - but I won't go and do Java now, I'll stay with PHP

David has written a nice a blog article about our experiences while importing the PHP-Sources, including full CVS history, into git. Unfortunately the blog is, for unknown reasons, not listed on Planet PHP anymore. If you read about git this might be a good project to start playing with it - at least way better than just some random test commits. If you have no clue what git ist: Check Wikipedia for a start.
