phpBB Weekly #094: Anything Goes with the Spokane Clan

On this non-live “Anything Goes” episode, Douglas is joined by the “Spokane Clan”–David Lewis, Francis Lewis (Handyman), and Michael Williams (mtotheikle). They’re all from Spokane, all bigwigs on StarTrekGuide, and are all celebrating the retirement of phpBB2 while Douglas continues mourning it. [...]

PHPBB And WordPress

In this episode, David and I chatted about a number of subjects including:

• WordPress User Interface History
• BBPress
• PHPBB3
• The possibilities of the WordPress team working with PHPBB to develope a bridge between the two (!!!??!!)
• Security of PHPBB3 and WordPress

[...]

(please note … it’s written phpBB, not in that shouting way)

Tocqueville. Comunicazione di servizio

Il restyling (non solo estetico, ma strutturale) del sito è stato molto più lungo del previsto. E non riusciremo ad essere pronti prima di lunedì 2 febbraio. Adattare al nuovo “sistema” un database enorme come quello di Tocqueville.it (più di 1800 blog iscritti e più di 300mila post aggregati) non è affatto un’operazione semplice. Ma vi possiamo assicurare che, una volta completato il tutto, sarà valsa la pena aspettare qualche giorno in più.

Well, if you weren’t living under the rock you should already be aware of this ….

After about 9 months without any life signal, the phpBB podcast saw another episode, its 6th one … but not on the old site but on a new home, with a different template (propress instead of subSilver).

1. reading that SHS` grandmother passed by (condolences to him :()
2. Paolo Guzzanti writes this (interesting essay about real italians :twisted:)
3. I decided to backport a WP 2.2 template to WP 2.0 and to adapt it …. interesting but a ‘bit’ time consumptive
   (and no, I don’t mind to translate some german pieces in english … )
   There was another one nice (found via itst blog) but it was a little more time-consuming to backport
4. the car decides to create some troubles (fixed … but after a not so tiny bit of time)
5. Acyd Burn announces this (hopefully last RC)

After April 30th resigning, phpbb founder and ex contributor blog is no more.

dhn @ phpBB.com writes this:

After 5 years and 7 months Jonathan “SHS`” Roger Stanley is leaving the phpBB project and stepping down from his current Project Manager position, leaving me alone as the longest serving member on the team.
After traveling around the world in 2005 and dedicating full time to phpBB afterwards, he finally decided that it is time to take care for himself again and bid us farewell.

He informed the team leaders 6 months ago of his intention to leave after RC1 was released and though we all tried to convince him to stay, we understand and respect his decision. We thank Jon for all the hard work he has done for the project. Without him we wouldn’t be as far as we are today.

Just to give some examples of his dedication:
