Hello internals!

I=E2=80=99d like to take a moment to reflect what will happen tomorrow with=
 all of
you and how that is important to me and I=E2=80=99d say, to everyone: PHP 8=
.0.0 is
going to be released, YES!

PHP 8.0 was the first PHP version that I had the opportunity, pleasure and
time to follow its development from beginning to end. Not only that, I had
the honour to be voted as one of its Release Managers. I first heard of PHP
a couple of years ago, and being able to help release its new major version
this year is, by far, one of the most honourable things that ever happened
to me.

I won=E2=80=99t spend time talking about how much stuff we have changed and
introduced in PHP 8.0, you can go ahead and Google for talks, blogs,
documents and much more about it. Let=E2=80=99s get that and spread the wor=
d
outside of our community, everyone needs to know how great PHP 8.0 is!

I won=E2=80=99t thank him, her or anyone in particular, I will thank everyo=
ne and
anyone that helped with this new version of PHP. Old schools, newbies,
Africans, Europeans, Americans, and of course our Asian community. Do we
have someone from Oceania or Antarctica that have contributed to PHP? I
think so, PHP is from everyone to anyone. Even known folks from PHP tools,
libraries and frameworks helped on this version, and it was beautiful to
see this bridge being built.

Unfortunately, I won=E2=80=99t be able to attend tomorrow=E2=80=99s release=
 party, as I=E2=80=99ll
be (literally) flying to Brazil. I wish all the best of luck to Sara and
everyone else that will be releasing it.

That=E2=80=99s all folks, tomorrow a new era of PHP starts and I can=E2=80=
=99t wait to see
what the future reserves for us! Stay safe, stay home, wear a mask once you
go out, and let=E2=80=99s finish 2020 on a high!
