Endless Summer

In our last post, we invited our students to let us know all things open source they've been working on lately, and we heard from a number of Summer of Coders who are still actively working on their projects. We'll be featuring several stories from them over the coming days.

William Candillon joined us in 2006 as a student working with the PHP project. He subsequently released phpAspect, a PHP language extension to implement Aspect Oriented programming. His efforts continued during Summer of Code 2007, where William worked on an Eclipse plugin for phpAspect.

Like all students, William has been busy with his studies, but he wrote in to let us know that he's planning a new release this month. He also let us know that he just had a paper on his Summer of Code work accepted for the upcoming EclipseCon 2008 conference, so if you're planning to attend be sure to stop by his session on Aspect PHP Development Tools.

We heard from several of our students, but we would love to hear from more of you. Send us an email with your story, or post a comment and let us know how things are going for you.

Happy 2008 to everyone!
