Portland Art Museum, Mark Building

This will be a (open to the public) BoF session at Open Source Bridge.

I'm Very pleased to announce that Haiping, Senior Server Engineer at facebook and main engineer behind HipHop for PHP will be meeting with the PDXPHP group on June 3rd.  HipHop is one of the major developments in the PHP-verse as of late and it's announcement certainly generated quite a bit of hubbub.  Be sure to come down to learn all about HipHop and related work, plus what it's like being an engineer at Facebook.

HipHop for PHP isn't technically a compiler itself. Rather it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it. HipHop executes the source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features — such as eval() — in exchange for improved performance. HipHop includes a code transformer, a reimplementation of PHP's runtime system, and a rewrite of many common PHP Extensions to take advantage of these performance optimizations.

CiviCode Day will be co-located with the Hacker Lounge of Open Source Bridge at the Portland Art Museum, in the Sunken Ballroom of the Mark Building. An un-conference styled event, kicked off with a keynote address by our Mayor, Sam Adams, followed by brief introductions of project ideas in the morning, then breaking out into groups for the remainder of the day for a "hack-a-thon" with your peers. The last hour or so will be reserved for a show-and-tell of our work.

CiviCode Day is dedicated to the sharing and mashing up of your ideas with your peers.

• Share and Discuss your project ideas with others
• Get Your Questions Answered on readily available datasets and/or inform data providers first hand of what type of datasets you need to turn your ideas into reality
• Discover or Recruit Others to collaborate with on interesting projects
• Mashup Prototypes as proof-of-concepts or more with your fellow developers

CiviCode Day will be attended by developers, collaboration seekers, data providers, contest organizers, and a wide array of local business people looking to learn more about the CivicApps.org project.
