Contributing Advent
As a project for this year's advent, I will be making an open source contribution for each day of the period. I will focus on resolving bugs in Xdebug, PHP's DateTime extension and OpenStreetMap. I will also try to write a small article about the specific case to show how I fixed and/or contributed—providing it is interesting enough.
Each project has plenty of addressable issues (Xdebug bugs, DateTime bugs and OpenStreetMap notes) and I don't doubt other Open Source projects have a backlog of issues as well. Who joins me in contributing to your favourite Open Source project for the advent? Leave a comment below.

I'm excited about the PHP UK Conference on Friday!
I am speaking on @Xdebug, but the whole programme looks great:

If you were wondering whether the www.php.net & downloads.php.net services weren't responding very well in the last 6 hours — thousands of requests/sec to https://www.php.net/ 's root.
The server's load was 720, didn't die, but CDN connections to it timed out.
Now there is a caching strategy in place for a selected set of resources.
