The 31st of March, the pubsvn community Subversion repository will be made read-only and rest in peace. This Subversion repository has served the community for several years, as a central repository where all community contributed extensions could live their life. However, with the growing amount of users and extensions, “one repository to serve them all” is not the preferred way to go anymore. Therefore projects.ez.no saw the daylight, further referred to as “eZ Projects”.
If you want to move the source code of your current projects currently living in http://pubsvn.ez.no/community, then please register these projects on eZ Projects. Once they are approved there, send me an e-mail (preferably with the subject: “pubsvn community migration”) with the full path to the project in the community repository as well as the Unix name of the matching project registered at eZ Projects. I will load the Subversion history from the community repository in your new dedicated repository on eZ Projects and reply you when it’s done.

eZ Labs Belgium, the Belgian office of eZ systems, is recruiting core / system developers. If you’re interested, then take a look at the job description!

On Saturday the 9th of June, the day after the eZ conference, there will be a rather small (compared to the eZ conference) eZ publish developers event. You can find more general information in a summary at eZpedia, a summary at ez.no and Paul’s announcement at the ez.no forums.
I’m not 100% sure yet what I will talk about, because there are a lot of interesting topics showing up lately. One of them could be the reuse of the database of 3rd party applications by using persistent objects. We recently integrated data from a custom made, basic ERP system in an eZ publish intranet this way. The open source MS SQL database plugin I made was also part of this solution.
Another area that’s bothering me for a long time is the inability of the current eZ publish package management system to find and retrieve updated packages from remote repositories in a more automated way. Last week I did some experiments based on existing code of the setup wizard and I’m sure that with a little more work this package update manager could become pretty cool. Some client code will be released right before the developer workshop. A package repository server extension is in it’s child shoes too. It would be great if this could be a part of the eZ projects site.
With that remark I come to my next possible subject, the status of eZ projects and a little insight in the tools used to get this framework up and running.
Finally, there’s also the existing PHP 5 port which runs pretty smooth most of the time.
C ya next Saturday!

Xavier Dutoit once pointed me to a nice unobtrusive table sort script written by Frequency Decoder. I will explain you how you can use it with the tables inserted in an XML block attribute.
