Hello @phpfoundation !

I saw that there is an Open Collective page named PHP Foundation Europe with some admin shared with the PHP Foundation page.

I haven't seen any news about that page (added at the end of 2025), what's the goal here ?

I represent an European company so I wanted to check 😃.

Thanks !

The PHP Foundation — Supporting, Advancing, and Developing the PHP Language

The recent appointment at @thephpf has sparked a vital debate across Reddit, HN, and YouTube: Does PHP need more 'Community Advocacy' or 'Strategic Power'?

Leadership isn't just about voices; it's about creating the industrial-grade infrastructure that Big Tech can't ignore.

How cool is the PHP 8.5 release features page? https://www.php.net/releases/8.5/en.php 😎 very modern and shiny #php #phpc #thephpfoundation #thephpf
PHP: PHP 8.5 Release Announcement

PHP 8.5 is a major update of the PHP language, with new features including the URI Extension, Pipe Operator, and support for modifying properties while cloning.

🥧 I've been a little quiet recently, been working on a new feature to make some of the "bundled" PHP exts available in PIE. The POC is working, but needs polishing. There are potential pitfalls though, such as extensions getting out of sync with your PHP version! #phppie #thephpfoundation #pie #phpc

Looking forward to upcoming conferences! First up, I'm giving the first ever talk about 🥧 PIE (PHP Installer for Extensions) at @phpday then heading to @phptek 😁 hope to see some of you there!!

I wonder what PHP would win if the codebase was rewritten entirely in Rust.

My bet? Given the Rust ecosystem, we would be months away of truly async, green threads, non blocking IO, and a complete performant web server implementation.
