Re: [UPHPU] PHP is coming to mobile
Yeah, all the article actually meant was that the language powering all of the data providing APIs that mobile applications are using will more frequently be PHP applications. Though I don't think that has really changed and won't change from what it currently is. For instance, if there's one thing that Ruby on Rails apps are wildly known to be amazing at, it's providing a super fast and efficient REST API with a super short development period, and that's a large part of what is providing client-side app-enabling tools for mobile. Those Rails apps often handle over 500 requests per second (see this old 2007 benchmark: http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/comparisons.html) on a single server where you're lucky to get maybe 60 r/s with an equivalent (highly optimized) CakePHP-powered app. Then again, maybe this all depends on either the Yii Framework or CodeIgniter taking off, because everything I've seen mostly points to these two frameworks being able to match Rails apps (http://www.yiiframework.com/performance/).

I know it's going to happen no matter where you host, but I'm curious to know how they treat customers after it happens. SliceHost gave me a free month after they had a small problem one night, and they did it without me having to ask for it. I feel like that's the kind of treatment that will earn my business. I've been with Linode for almost 7 years now. I've never received a credit for downtime, but at the same time, the closest thing to a SLA Linode provides is a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which allows for 43 minutes of downtime per month (it is applicable to a monthly basis at least), and I've never experienced more than about 2 hours downtime in my worst year. I think there was once that I did have just over an hour downtime once, but never requested a pro-rated refund. So to answer your question at least partially, I'm fairly certain you have to actually request a refund. Though they respond to support tickets extremely fast, and have never let me down for the few times I've had to put in tickets (mostly for upgrades, or billing changes). You are right, everyone has downtime eventually, though one of the reasons I have stuck around for so long is because it happens so infrequently at Linode in my experience. It seems to only happen about twice per year, it's usually never for longer than 15-20 minutes each time, and about 70% of the time it's network downtime, leaving the host online and running without a reboot most of the time. And to be perfectly honest, it's only happened maybe once in the entire 7 years when it's been caused by some negligence on part of the Linode staff. Once was a hard drive on my host failing, though they are configured in a RAID 1 mirror, so I was promptly moved off the host and no data was lost. Linode is always on the ball as far as mitigating any problems very quickly, then writing up a full report shortly after it's been fixed. If you're curious, you could always browse http://status.linode.com/ for an idea of what has gone down datacenter-wide, for how long, and what kind of issues usually pop up. That status page aggregates all issues across all 5 datacenters btw, most of those issues never actually affect more than maybe 20% of all Linode customers. As Jonathan mentioned, feedback from users verges on fanatical, and I'm certainly no exception, so I'll save you the rest of the details for the sake of simply providing info in regards to downtime as you requested.

If any of you really are actually looking for something much more on the minimal side and way easier to skin than Magento, X-cart, OSCommerce, etc, then I actually do recommend looking at OpenCart. It's one of my new favorites just because it's not bloated, and the code is very clean and well organized, so it's incredibly easy to skin in comparison, and it's actually possible to write up usable, custom functionality fairly quickly. The first shop I ever used OpenCart with, I managed to build their entire design into an OpenCart skin, and migrate all of their customers, products, categories, and orders over in one month flat single-handed... all without hardly any prior knowledge of OpenCart at all. You will miss many of the more advanced features of a well adopted shopping cart like Magento though. OpenCart has an extremely simple email system that doesn't lend itself well to doing any kind of targeted marketing for example. It does have a very flexible product options system, but no customer wishlist system. It has all the basic features you usually absolutely need, but hardly any of the more decorative features. On the other hand though, this is a way better option than building a new cart from scratch. Overall, it's just a good base system to build on top of. Though, while it is built on a decent MVC system with basic routing, I wish the original authors had actually built it on a framework like Zend, Cake, Symphony, or CodeIgniter to begin with.

If what you really need is a VPS and not shared hosting or a dedicated server, and you don't do a lot of monthly transfer, Linode definitely beats all other VPS providers in my opinion. Network traffic is probably the biggest drawback to Linode since they don't provide as much as other providers do when comparing price. All other aspects make up for that though. The support is incredibly fast and experienced. Other than the VPS itself, they provide an extremely powerful control panel with network, CPU, and disk I/O graphs. They also provide primary and secondary DNS service (so you don't have to worry about running Bind9 on your VPS or finding a secondary in another datacenter) with an API if you happen to manage a lot more than just a few domains. The terms of service pretty much outlines the basic premise that if what you're doing on your VPS is legal, they don't have a problem with it (even if you want to run an IRC server). They've recently been adding features that come in handy for customers with multiple Linodes including IP failover and unmetered traffic between two linodes (in the same datacenter) over a private gigabit network.

[UPHPU] Votes Requested for Next Meeting Presentation Material
I've been asked to present at next month's meeting, and I have a few subjects I could cover, so I wanted to see what the majority of the group wants to see a presentation on. #1 - svnLogBowser - http://svnlogbrowser.org/ This has been a recent production of mine over the last few months in an effort to ease the headache of reviewing commits and looking for changes in any Subversion repository. It offers the ability to search through an entire collection of logs and files within seconds (no more waiting on TortoiseSVN to retrieve 5,000+ commit logs for minutes to an hour), as well as filtering down to specific developer's commits while identifying tags and branches and linking to diffs of commits when used with ViewVC. The presentation would be oriented to not only setup, configuration, and use of svnLogBrowser, but also techniques used in tracking down changes, and general management of bugs and patches. Maybe a few minutes spent on branches and tags. Note that this project is not available for download just yet, but a 1.0 release is coming up in the next week or two. We'll be on the ground floor of what I hope becomes an integral tool to the development process for many. I'd cover some PHP techniques with this, but the PHP side of this project doesn't really cover anything out of the ordinary. The interesting aspects of this project involve the Python update script, which isn't really topical for UPHPU. #2 - Starting and Managing an Open Source Project I've founded two open source projects, and an active developer of a large open source project (wxWidgets) involved with more than 20 other developers, all with their own objectives, talents, and experience. Topics covered would be along the lines of available resources and tools for everything from bug/patch management, web hosting and site management, community resources (mailing lists, forums, wikis, and IRC), and other resources built for use by open source projects such as CIA, Dotsrc, SourceForge, OSU OSL, and Gmane (even if it's not OS-specific). I might touch a little on how to deal with tough situations with certain types of problematic people who will find your project (it happens to everyone), but I think the Google Tech Talk on the subject covers it better than I ever could. #3 - MediaWiki Publisher - http://mwpublisher.org/ The other project I've founded that automates the process of publishing content inside an installation of MediaWiki to multiple output formats. It features a PHP-based API for building new output format generators with a small amount of code and time involved, which is important currently since there's only 2 output formats currently supported (XHTML, and HelpBlocks, which generates CHM and HTB formats). Topics covered here would be object oriented design with PHP (as MediaWiki Publisher uses an OO design), and if interest is there, maybe some comparisons of OO features with other programming languages, namely C++, Python, and Java. Other than OO design, there's not a lot of material on this project to present on. The rest of the time would be filled with installing and using MediaWiki Publisher itself. Maybe there would be time to go over the process of writing a new parser output format for use with MWP. Personally, I would prefer to present on #1 or #2, but I'm fine with #3 if that's what everyone wants to see. I'm happy presenting on whatever everyone here feels they could benefit the most from.
