We the merry wizards and mistress (merry as well) from IRC
have been just buzzing the past few days with ideas of putting
together a PHP-GTK team for the
phpthrowdown.
This is basically a competition where a team builds the best
application they can in a 24 hour period fitting a category
defined by the challenge. It is then submitted and judged by
suits in the PHP community. Word is there are some decent prizes
being put together for this.
After a few cups of tea the idea of putting several teams
together so that we could have some competition within the
ranks came about. Without any word on what the categories
are for certain, there is still the Miscellaneous category.
So either way by category or Miscellaneousness we can get
some good stuff in and you will not have to see me cry.
If you are interested in participating, Jace put together a
quick
sign up
form you should mark yourself down on. This way we
know how many people we have and how many teams we
could build to represent the PHP-GTK community.
Throw it down, lets see what we got. Hope to see you there?
If you hate being out of the action, plop your IRC client on
irc.freenode.net in channel #php-gtk
where most of the impressive thinking happens.
