PHP is now a Microsoft Partner Issued on: April 1, 2003 Software: PHP Platforms: All The PHP Group has is proud to announce that we are now a partner of Microsoft Corporation. Description After many hours of talking with people from Microsoft, we came up with an agreement, which will make us a partner with them. This will have many benefits for both the users and the developers. Impact PHP will be included in the next upcoming release of their operating system, both as CLI and as CGI and ISAPI for IIS. Microsoft have released their source code to IIS to some of our developement team so we will be able to tightly integrated PHP with their webserver. Except that, this will lead to many improvements in PHP. Microsoft have agreed to hire our top 5 developers plus an extra 10 that only will work with the developement of PHP in Windows and UNIX environment. They have also agreed to host all of our websites (.php.net) on new highend servers within a month. The downside is that we will change our license to be more restrictive, but it will still be opensource. Microsoft, however, will have to accept every single commit before they get into our CVS, so we will also change the commitment system in a way that it will first go to a Microsoft representant that will validate the patch and then apply it if it gets accepted. Credits The PHP Group would like to thank Microsoft Corporation and their staff for being excellent to work with and make buisness with.
