Hi, I'm Derick, welcome to PHP internals news, a podcast, dedicated to explaining the latest developments in the PHP language. This is episode 84. Today I'm talking with the recently elected PHP 8.1 RMs, Ben Ramsey and Patrick Allaert. Ben, would you please introduce yourself.

Thanks Derick for having me on the show. Hi everyone, as Derick said I'm Ben Ramsey, you might know me from the Ramsey UUID composer package. I've been programming in PHP for about 20 years, and active in the PHP community for almost as long. I started out blogging, then writing for magazines and books, then speaking at conferences, and then contributing to open source projects. I've also organized a couple of PHP user groups over the years, and I've contributed to PHP source and Docs and a few small ways over the years, but my first contributions to the project were actually to the PHP GTK project.

Oh, that's a blast from the past. You know what, I actually still run daily a PHP GTK application.

Oh, that's interesting. What does it do?

It's Twitter client.

Did you write it.
- Derick Rethans 1:26
-
I did write it. Basically I use it to have a local copy of all my tweets and everything that I've received as well, which can be really handy sometimes to figuring out, because I can easily search over it with SQL it's kind of handy to do.

It's really cool.
