Hello all, i am new to this list

I have been to the channel at freenode, ##php and they told that the current
official channel for PHP developers was here, using the mailing lists

I have been a developer for about 11 years and been using PHP about five

Today i am looking for a job that can be done in my own environment and i
thought that contributing to opensource projects could be a good
possibility, if there is that possibility of course, because i am not sure
if this is being done and what are the requirements to be able to apply for
this

The reason why i am posting here, in a PHP mailing list (internals list), is
that i do believe about this language, its future, and i really enjoy
programming in it because it remains simple, very similar to C and flexible

If any of you could tell me how can i try to contact somebody for this kind
of job i will really appreciate your help, since i do not know nobody
working in this situation

Best regards,
Fernando Gabrieli

This list has for purpose php development (It's internals as the name
states). Please do not post such comments here, you can try on php.dev
but this is not a personal job posting area place.

One thing I'd suggest is to look at our Google Summer of Code ideas
page (http://wiki.php.net/gsoc/2008) and maybe get a project there.

I'll repeat to make sure it's understood: This list is not a self
promoting page (even though sometimes it looks like it)

Thanks a lot for understanding :)

David

I did not think of it as that, sorry if my post was misunderstood

Since i did not know any other place to go, somebody at ##php told me it was
the official channel

For that reason i sent the mail

Again, i apologize if it was not a good idea


Thank you for telling me about the gsoc, in fact i am aware about it and
last year i applied for a project but they said no. I will take a look at
those that are possible to do now and try again, may be i have more luck
this time


Best regards,
