der erste april

Mal ehrlich, ich bin ein wenig spät dran heute, aber ich wurde heute Früh von meinem Lottogewinn benachrichtigt, sodass ich erst mal meine nächste Million zur Bank bringen mußte. Neee – war leider ein Aprilscherz. Aber davon habe ich noch mehr 🙂 Ich gehe jetzt einmal auf Aprilscherz-Jagd. Wenn du auch noch welche gefunden hast, die sich noch vor mir verstecken, dann maile mir doch bitte (daniel@fiene.tv)

PHP is now a Microsoft Partner

Issued on: April 1, 2003

Software: PHP

Platforms: All

 

The PHP Group has is proud to announce that we are now a partner of 

Microsoft Corporation. 



Description

After many hours of talking with people from Microsoft, we came up with

an agreement, which will make us a partner with them. This will have many

benefits for both the users and the developers. 

 

Impact

PHP will be included in the next upcoming release of their operating system,

both as CLI and as CGI and ISAPI for IIS. Microsoft have released their

source code to IIS to some of our developement team so we will be able to

tightly integrated PHP with their webserver.

Except that, this will lead to many improvements in PHP. Microsoft have

agreed to hire our top 5 developers plus an extra 10 that only will work

with the developement of PHP in Windows and UNIX environment.

They have also agreed to host all of our websites (.php.net) on new

highend servers within a month.

The downside is that we will change our license to be more restrictive,

but it will still be opensource. Microsoft, however, will have to accept

every single commit before they get into our CVS, so we will also change

the commitment system in a way that it will first go to a Microsoft

representant that will validate the patch and then apply it if it gets

accepted.

 

Credits

The PHP Group would like to thank Microsoft Corporation and their staff

for being excellent to work with and make buisness with.
