Ken Guest’s online diary

I’m very proud to have been involved as an editor and help with the translation and update of the AFUP’s PHP en Enterprise livre blanc into the PHP for Enterprise/Business Whitepaper: as far as I know this is the first full English language translation and update of the work done by the Association Française des Utilisateurs de PHP (French PHP Users Group). Also there is a lot of new content in the Whitepaper that with regards to how PHP is now utilised in Enterprise. Figures have been updated and techniques available in later versions of PHP have been referenced.

We’ve had an interesting time translating and updating the content – especially as I don’t know French let alone their idioms. Many thanks to Stéphane Lambert for his boundless energy and devotion to getting us this far!

Thanks also to PEAR President and fellow IPUG member David Coallier who also helped with the translation work and not forgetting Derick Rethans and Peter Keung who also assisted in fine-tuning our work into something a bit more fluent and graceful

I would be remiss to not mention Blacknight who have sponsored the IPUG from the start – without them there truly would not be a php.ie!

If I’ve left anybody out – please remind me!

All in all, as Chairman of the Irish PHP Users Group, I can say this is an exciting moment for us to have achieved – we’ve given something tangible back to the PHP Community as a whole and to top things off we’ve published the Whitepaper under the Open Licence Content – you may
freely use it if you clearly acknowledge the Irish PHP Users Group and if you retain the Open Content Licence. This means you can localise the Whitepaper to your own language and national figures if you so desire.
