Special Guests: Ligaya Turmelle, Elizabeth Naramore, Elizabeth Smith, Sara Golemon

Regular listeners are probably getting tired of hearing me say this, but today we are going to do something a little different. Back in October of 2007, PHPWomen passed their first birthday. It's taken me a while to get everything together but finally, I got a chance to sit down with four of the charter members, Ligaya Turmelle, Elizabeth Naramore, Elizabeth Smith and Sara Golemon and talk about the first year of phpwomen.
We recorded this live via Skype and WebEx so I apologize for allowing our standards to drop a bit but I hope you'll stick with us as it was a fun conversation.

PHP Abstract Podcast Episode 28: Interview with Aviv Katz

Episode 28: Interview with Aviv Katz
Special Guest: Aviv Katz
Release Date: 12/06/2007
License: Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0
Today, we are going to do something a little different. While I was at ZendCon 07, I had the opportunity to sit down with fellow Zender, Aviv Katz. Aviv is the product manager of Zend Core and Zend Network. Most people think that because we all work at the same company we all know each other. Zend is a very distributed company, that's one of the things I love about it. The downside of that however, is that a lot of us don't see each other during the course of a year. So when I was offered the opportunity to talk to Aviv I naturally jumped at it.
To be fair, this discussion, unlike most of my other interviews, is mainly about a product and not about Aviv. it's not the first product review we've done on PHP Abstract but I don't want anyone to say I didn't warn you.
