From noreply at nyphp.org Mon Sep 5 12:02:47 2005 From: noreply at nyphp.org (New York PHP) Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2005 12:02:47 -0400 Subject: [nycphp-announce] joomla@nyphp: Supporting the former Mambo CMS; Sept. Training Message-ID: <0MKoyl-1ECJQn25bF-0005hL@mrelay.perfora.net> NYPHPers, As many likely have heard, the Mambo CMS has undergone some fundamental changes. In the past, New York PHP has supported this popular CMS by providing a dedicated virtual server and mailing lists for the community. In light of the recent split, New York PHP has voted unanimously to back the new open source CMS, Joomla! Joomla! is the new name of the Mambo CMS, and providing the same functionality and a true open source development model. As a result, we've renamed our mailing list to the Joomla! SIG. http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/joomla The change is minor but an important step in showing support for an open source project that's truly open. For more information on Joomla! and the changes surrounding this important CMS, see http://www.joomla.org New York PHP Designer Track, September 19th - 20th -------------------------------------------------- Our Designer's Track was created especially for web developers with experience in HTML, Flash, Dreamweaver, Front Page, Microsoft Word, and other graphic and layout applications.

Meeting; Last Change to Register, NYCBSDCon Message-ID: <0MKoyl-1EDhNd0Qhs-0001UR@mrelay.perfora.net> The heat has finally broken and it's now time to get back to work. With that, we're pleased to have Chris Shiflett, prolific author for O'Reilly, phpArchitect and PHP Magazine, presenting on the too often neglected topic of PHP Security. Peer reviews are a frequently neglected asset of professional PHP development teams. With a moderate understanding of how to audit PHP code, you can vastly improve the security of your team's PHP applications. This talk, by Chris Shiflett, explains the art of the PHP security audit. Using practical examples, you are shown how to search for common pitfalls, how to identify filtering and escaping errors, and how to report your findings. Thanks to IBM for providing a great presentation space with seating for plenty. As a service to our community, New York PHP meetings are always free and open to the public. Come prepared with a business card to enter book raffles.
