who needs social life when you have broadband?

Yay! Have you seen the announcement at Joomla.org about Google Summer of Code? Well, as I cannot participate as a student (not a student anymore ) I think I will help as a mentor. If you have a nice idea for a killer feature in Joomla!, want to earn some money (US$ 4.500,00 to be precise) and would like to be involved in a great open source project, this is your chance!

Tell us about your project and let’s have some fun

I’m very happy with opensource lately. I’m enjoying the feedback received with BigoCaptcha and I discovered that hacking JFusion is fun!

Marius has just released a new version of JFusion which adds two new [and exciting] features: user synchronization between external apps and joomla and a plugin installation (by bigo :P) whichi will allow people to install new plugins without need to hack the code. I hope this helps JFusion to gain even more popularity among devs.

I’m glad Marius decided to add my Magento plugin in the default package (although I know it probably won’t work with the latest version of magento).

Now, while I wait for my UK visa, I’ll work on a new Magento plugin for JFusion and help Marius and the other devs hunting some bugs before JFusion goes stable

hello guys!

this morning I’ve uploaded the first preview version of my personal site. This is something I did just to play with ZendFramework, YUI and jQuery togheter (it’s slow and buggy, but I like it and I hope you like my idea as well).

Check http://www.bigodines.com/zf/ (I haven’t tested with IE yet…). And try to navigate inside the directories and explore some commands. There are only two files availble, both are inside “projects/zf/” and are just a PoC to show it works.

I’m working on a better admin area now and then I’ll add content e more commands (and webservice access).

comments are always welcome!
