Symfony Live San Francisco 2012

Fabien Potencier — Tue, 22 May 2012 10:15:08 +0200

For the second time, SensioLabs is organizing a Symfony Live Conference in San Francisco. It will take place on September 27-28th 2012.

The whole conference will take place at Microsoft offices in San Francisco downtown.

The call for papers is open until May 30th; if you want to share your real-life Symfony experience, consider submitting a session proposal. If you submitted a talk for Symfony Live Paris, you don't need to submit it again. We are looking for more speakers coming from the Americas.

New this year is a training day that SensioLabs is going to host on September 26th (same venue as the conference): You can choose between two different topics on Symfony2:

Introduction to Symfony2: Learn the basics of the Symfony framework and get ready to develop your first applications.
Going further with Symfony2: Learn more about the Symfony features set with advanced tools like caching, security and dependency injection management.

Even if you cannot attend the conference, you can still join us on September 29th for the free hacking day at the conference venue.

We are still looking for sponsors to help us cover the cost of the conference; read the guide and consider becoming a sponsor. I'd like to thank the early sponsors for the San Francisco conference: Microsoft, ServerGrove, Scalable Path, and KnpLabs.

Follow us on Twitter to get the latest news about the conference. And if you tweet about the conference, consider using the official hashtag #symfony_live.

Symfony 2.0.14 released

Fabien Potencier — Fri, 18 May 2012 09:52:48 +0200

Symfony 2.0.14 has just been released.

The CHANGELOG has all the details about the changes and you can even have a look at the full diff.

Besides small bug fixes, it also fixes a regression in the SensioFrameworkExtraBundle introduced in the 2.0.13 release.

If you are starting a new project, you can get the Symfony Standard Edition distribution on the download page.

If you already have a project based on the Symfony Standard Edition 2.0.x, you can easily upgrade to 2.0.13 by getting the new deps and deps.lock files.

Then, run the vendors script (it also clears your cache):

$ ./bin/vendors install

Remember that the Symfony2 Components are also available as standalone libraries. You can get them via their dedicated read-only repositories on Github (https://github.com/symfony/Finder for instance), install them via PEAR (pear install symfony2/Finder), or even install them via Composer.

Symfony Community Survey 2012

Fabien Potencier — Mon, 14 May 2012 15:01:40 +0200

Symfony 2.0 has been released for quite a long time now, and so we would like to conduct a quick survey to get a better understanding of the Symfony community.

I'm going to use some of the aggregated results for my Symfony Live keynote, and all the aggregated results will be published on this blog after the conference.

Not convinced yet? Enter your SensioLabs Connect username at the end of the survey to get a cool badge and to be included in a raffle with great Symfony goodies up for grabs (t-shirts and caps).

Would you mind spending a few minutes to answer these questions?

Symfony Live Paris 2012: Some great news

Fabien Potencier — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:49:20 +0200

Symfony Live Paris 2012 is in less than a month. In this post, I'll give you a quick update on the latest news.

The Schedule

As you might have noticed, we published the full schedule for Symfony Live Paris 2012 some time ago. This year, we have three tracks running in parallel; and that will allow for more breaks and plenty of time for everyone to chat and share.

New this year is a special slot for lightning talks. The idea is really simple: every 10 minutes, a speaker has 7 minutes to talk about something related to Symfony: from serious talks about a specific feature or bundle to fun topics about Symfony, developers, life, and more! Be creative, and be prepared!

To entertain us the first day, Jeremy Mikola will host a Jeopardy game. If you know Jeremy and if you follow him on Twitter, you already know that it will be a lot of fun! (no pressure Jeremy)

The Training Day

Like every year, the day before the conference, Sensio Labs will organize a training day. This year, you can choose between two different topics on Symfony2:

Introduction to Symfony2: Learn the basics of the Symfony framework and get ready to develop your first applications.
Going further with Symfony2: Learn more about the Symfony features set with advanced tools like caching, security and dependency injection management.

Each training will be delivered in French and English.

Registration

I know that most of you are waiting for the last minute to register but the sooner the better, really. One of the reason is that the hotels are already quite full nearby the conference venue... but the main reason is that it would make me sleep better in the coming weeks.

Also, if you have purchased your ticket as a voucher, don't forget to redeem it on the website to actually be registered.

Translation

Hosting a conference in France is not easy as French people expect sessions to be in French. This year, we have a big new thing for French attendees: we are going to have real-time translation for all sessions in track A and B.

And we are also going to have English translations for French sessions, which is great news as we shoud have a great session on the usage of Symfony2 at Overblog, which is one of the biggest blogging platform in Europe!

Videos

Last, but not the least, I can now announce that all sessions (in track A and B) will be recorded. And best of all, these videos will be free for all attendees.
