Lorna Jane has posted a brief look back at this year's PHP London conference and the PHPWomen group's involvement there.

Leap Year Day, 29th February 2008, saw the annual London PHP Conference. PHPWomen were lucky enough to be able to get a stand at this conference to promote our organisation, and it was a great opportunity to get together and meet all the women that were able to be there.

She counted around 20 women at a conference of around 300 attendees (7% - not bad!) and notes that when attending a conference with a popular group, always bring enough t-shirts. There were even elePHPant and cake (no not the framework) sightings later in the day.

A big thankyou to all the helpers - it was wonderful to meet you all and I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did!

Following up on Philip Olson's post about the evolution of PHP logos, Wolfgang Drews (of DynamicWebPages.de) has posted a few other examples.

Philip Olson has posted some kind of history of php-logos, so here are my two cents.

Included in his post are things like a 3D rendered example of a PHP booth, a few random ones he found that he had created for his site and the infamous PHP cake from the ten year birthday of the language.

One of the more popular PHP frameworks out there, Cake, is cenebrating today. They've officially released verssion 1.0 of their powerful framework software.

We made it! 1.0 is here. The first officially stable version to be released by the Cake Software Foundation, includes all the features we had in .10 but with final bug fixes needed to make 1.0 fantastic. We hope you all enjoy 1.0 and don't be afraid to submit any bugs if you find them. We will do periodic bug fix releases and keep the 1.0 branch updated in SVN

To mark this auspicious day, you may remember the Collab-ontest that we had just after the last release. Well, we really appreciate everyone who made the effort to send ideas, designs, suggestions, etc. In the end, we went with the design submitted by Armando Sosa of http://www.nolimit-studio.com/. We felt this design matched the fifties style best and brings a fresh new image to CakePHP. So, far we have managed to build this into cakephp.org and the manual. The other sites will get updated soon as well.

Be sure to check out the release notes for more information on what's been updated and head on over to their Downloads section to grab this latest update!

On firman's blog today, there's a new post that asks the question "Which is A Best One?" when looking at PHP MVC frameworks.

So many open source projects MVC pattern in PHP, you can see the complete list of the projects at http://www.phpwact.org/php/mvc_frameworks. I just can say wow! then wondering which one i should be use? Some provide the basic framework, another provide more than MVC. Some projects are ported from another projects such as Struts, Ruby on Rails and so on, another brings their own concept for implementing the MVC pattern. I have no idea, which is a best one. Zend also participated on this "race".

He also talks briefly about other projects, including Mojavi, CAKE and WACT. But with all of the offerings out there, which is the best to use? Head over and voice your opinion now...
