International PHP Conference in Amsterdam (NewsForge)

NewsForge covers the recent International PHP Conference in Amsterdam. "One of the most exciting novelties I saw at the conference was PIMP, a new graphic extension for PHP 5 meant to replace GD as the main image manipulation tool for PHP. Its author, Pierre-Alain Joye, gave an interesting demonstration of its capabilities. Even though PIMP is still experimental and unstable, its performance and nice API are really impressive. PIMP will certainly be an improvement compared to GD, which is quite buggy and has caused a lot of headaches over the last few years."

Ok, people. Remember this at all times: if you create a website or usenet posting about PIMP, make sure you include "PHP" somewhere so we can google for it! :)

I don't normally have much sympathy for the "open source projects have silly names" line of criticism, but this is going a little too far.
