In May we (the Dutch PHP usergroup) organized the Dutch/Belgium version of the PHP testFest in Roosendaal. I was quite suprised this morning when i read the article on php.net:

"Overall 158 tests have been submitted as part of TestFest 2008 since the launch of the TestFest submission site by 30 different people from people all over the world. Actually this is not counting the various submissions by existing core developers, who also took this opportunity to add some more tests. This has actually increased total test coverage by about 10%...."

30 different people submitted tests during testFest. The headcount at the testFest in Roosendaal was 10, so 33% of the submitters are from the Netherlands and Belgium.

"Our top submitter Felix De Vliegher has actually committed his last submissions himself since, based on the high quality of his submissions, he has been granted commit rights to the PHP repository. ...."

Felix, congratulations. ;-) I think testFest was a nice and useful event and a nice opportunity to contribute to the development of PHP.

Now better late than never, here are the 10 winners of the promised elePHPant raffle sponsored by Nexen. Note that Felix asked me not to include him in the raffle, since he is already herding quite a number of elePHPants at home.
