He has quickly become familiar with the rest of the code base and has offered many ideas for modernizing certain aspects of the code. He joined the team in 2017 and lives in Brazil.
William Desportes
Developer
While doing application development, William used phpMyAdmin nearly every day and was attracted to the phpMyAdmin project as a way to give back to the community and so that others can have a great tool to use as they learn the first steps of programming with databases. One of his passions is to lower the barrier so new contributors can feel comfortable submitting a new pull request and he enjoys coaching prospective contributors through seeing their work merged. William lives in France.
Team meetings
We would like to meet other members of the team more often; so far only a few team meetings in real life have happened.
The first one was at a big party in Karlsruhe, Germany for the 10th anniversary of PHP and MySQL at the LinuxTag 2005 LAMP Area, with some special guests.
The second meeting took place in Brussels, Belgium during FOSDEM 2010. Marc Delisle talked about "State of phpMyAdmin" in the MySQL developer room.
The third meeting took place in Brussels, Belgium during FOSDEM 2012. The team talked about future directions for the project.
The fourth meeting took place in Vaumarcus, Switzerland during Debconf13. The team did a tutorial showing basic and more advanced features of phpMyAdmin.
During LinuxTag 2014 in Berlin, Germany, our project was an exhibitor and we held our fifth team meeting.
The sixth team meeting was held during FOSDEM 2015. We also attended a community dinner for the 20th anniversary of MySQL.
A few members of the phpMyAdmin team were able to gather at DebConf16 in Cape Town, South Africa. The team members met with the Debian developers, attended educational talks, and promoted the project.
Team members met again at DebConf17 in Montréal, Canada. In addition to bugfixing and meeting to discuss a roadmap for future plans, team members also had the pleasure of reuniting with past member Marc Delisle who spent many years as project maintainer.
