Hi everyone,
My name is Sam Minnee. I'm CEO of SilverStripe Limited, and until 2011 I
was CTO of the same company. SilverStripe Limited is the main company that
supports the SilverStripe CMS and Framework open source project, and I was
the original lead developer of this. It's current incarnation
("SilverStripe 2") had the first commit made to it in November 2005 and was
open-sourced in late 2006. These days, people like Ingo (github.com/chillu)
and Damian (github.com/tractorcow) write more code than me, although I
still contribute a fair bit. On GitHub, I'm http://github.com/sminnee. I've
been coding in PHP since 2002 or so.
Admittedly, SilverStripe has been a late adopter of the PSR standards but
I'm passionate about using PSRs as a way of getting more effective
interoperability and re-use between PHP frameworks and projects and of
avoiding the extent to which different frameworks created "camps" or walled
gardens that you need to buy into. I'm a big fan of DDD / hexagonal
architecture and, to some extent, of the micro-package approach, although
admittedly it can be taken too far.
Relevant experience:
- 14 years ith PHP
- Building a reusable framework, working with developers to help get it
adopted, and using it in anger on client projects
- Managing a user community, encouraging the free exchange of ideas while
keeping things civil most of the time
- Balancing commercial and community interests
I would be honoured to be selected to help the PHP-FIG move towards
breaking down the walls between PHP frameworks and of helping make PHP the
leading language for the server part of web-apps.
Thanks,
Sam
