OSCON Birds of a Feather presentation
A small but very interested crowd, including our Summer of Code student Will Scott, turned up to our evening OSCON session to learn about New Zealand, SilverStripe and our progress with Google Summer of Code. You can download a PDF of the presentation (2mb). Since Keynote doesn't export the animations from my presentation, refer below:
- Elijah Lofgren has made SilverStripe way easier to use, adding everything from tooltips to drag-n-drop file manipulation.
- Multiple language support, thanks to Bernat Foj Capell, can now be previewed in Spanish.
- Lakshan Perera released a flickr photo gallery module
- You can crop, rotate and more with images. Thanks Mateusz Ujma!
- Will Scott's worked on Google Adwords and search ranking
- Meg Risen has made good progress on Safari browser support
- You can now download Ofir Picazo's (google) maps module
- Quin Hoxie's built a graphical reporting system
- OpenID support has been added by Markus Lanthaler
- Microsoft and Postgres SQL server support is taking shape, thanks to Philipp Krenn.

Ending rails envy in PHP5
We're excited to announce that Sam Minnee, SilverStripe's CTO and the architect behind our framework has been invited to speak at the OSCON software conference next week in Portland, on "Ending Rails Envy in PHP5":

Meet SilverStripe at OSCON, Portland
Sam and I will be attending one of the world's biggest software conferences, O'Reilly OSCON, at the end of the July in Portland, Oregon. We'd love all in the area to come to a free session open to the general public on Monday 23rd July from 6.30. We will provide an overview of what's happening with Open Source in New Zealand, a background to why and how we started the project, and provide an overview of the SilverStripe product. We're hoping a number of the Google Summer of Code students will be there too...
Email sigurd@silverstripe.com if you're interesting in meeting up!
