Joind.in

We've been working behind the scenes on updating our HTTP web API, and we're delighted to say that these changes are now live. You'll notice a more reliable data structure, updated authentication to support non-anonymous functionality, and improved ... [More] reliability. We've introduced some tests using frisby and we're looking forward to adding additional functionality to this improved platform. Please note that this change is incompatible with the previous v2 API, and that the HTTP web service is still in beta. You can read more about how to use the API on the documentation page. We're very interested to hear from anyone consuming or considering this API - please do get in touch! [Less]

We're honoured that joind.in has been recognised with a nomination in the php|architect impact awards. These awards look to recognise those projects that are making a difference in the PHP space at the moment. If you enjoy joind.in, you can vote ... [More] for us! Do make sure to check out all the other nominated projects while you are there, lots of great PHP projects, all in one place. [Less]

As always we've been pretty busy over at joind.in lately, ironing out kinks in the system and adding new features. One of those features is something that will make a difference to everyone, and it's also something that I've been asked about ... [More] repeatedly over the last couple of years. We are now using other services for authentication against joind.in rather than having to register yet another username and password on yet another site. If you're not already registered with joind.in, then you can sign up through either of those two services and we'll prompt you to add some contact details and a username when you do so. If you're already a joind.in user, then you can log in with a twitter account which is already associated with your joind.in account, or a facebook account with the same email address on joind.in and carry on using your existing account that way. We hope you like the new features and using joind.in as much as we do! [Less]

We're delighted to announce that joind.in now supports event tagging. Having the events tagged means you can see what an event is about, and find other events with a particular tag. Event organisers set the tags for their event, and users of the site ... [More] can find other events on their chosen topics. Particularly with the audience of the site growing widely in lots of different topic directions, it'll be easier to find interesting events. We hope you'll enjoy tagging events and searching for similar events on the site! [Less]

In recent weeks the Joind.In project has moved onto a new hosting platform. After launching the project in a quiet corner of the server used to host phpdeveloper.org (both are the brain-child of @enygma), it had somewhat outgrown the resources ... [More] available to it as more and more people used it for more and bigger events. The new platform is generously provided by Combell, who are a large Belgian ISP. They are familiar faces (and often sponsors) at technical events in Europe, and we're very happy to have them supporting Joind.In! We now have a dedicated platform for the site, a staging area and a build server, all thanks to the support we have received. In particular we'd like to thank Thijs Feryn who made it all happen, and of course Combell themselves. You can see their logo in our sidebar and footer, so do check them out. [Less]

Last weekend the lovely folk over at PHPBenelux held a Bug Hunt Day - and they included joind.in in their supported projects for the day! This was a great way of introducing programmers to the project, and they did a great job of triaging our issue ... [More] list and tidying up quite a few things.

If you've been visiting the joind.in site lately, you may have noticed some little additions in the sidebars of events ... we've got gravatars! Gravatar is a service that links an avatar with your email address; you can find out more over at ... [More] http://gravatar.com. When you mark yourself as attending, we add the gravatar for the email address you signed up to joind.in with to the event page, so you can see who else will be there. To check if your gravatar is set up, simply log into joind.in and click on your username towards the top right hand side of the screen. If you don't see an avatar then set up the email address you use for joind.in on gravatar, and remember to mark which events you are attending so people know to look out for you! [Less]
