Are you artistically inclined? We are looking for a logo that embodies the spirit of the PHP community for use with the new community site to be located at phpcommunity.org.

Those who have volunteered to help build the PHP community site are already aware of the logo contest, but the contest is available to any who want to enter, so I decided to announce it in my blog as well.

Please send your submissions directly to me, and I will share them with the Steering Committee and likely make the best entries available for all to see.

We are also looking for ideas for the overall site design, although there is no specific contest for this.

2003 has ended, and since this is the first time that I've had a blog as a new year begins, I have decided to record my personal highlights of last year.

• My first book, HTTP Developer's Handbook, was published
• Moved to NYC and got involved with New York PHP
• Spoke at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention for the first time
• Spoke on a PHP panel with Adam and Dave
• My first article for php|architect was published
• Signed a contract for my first O'Reilly book
• Spoke at ApacheCon for the first time
• Quoted (and misquoted) for the first time
• Quoted (and misquoted) for the second time
• Began the PHP community site project
• My first article for PHP Magazine was published

There are quite a few firsts in that list, and hopefully some of those will yield more highlights for 2004. I met a lot of great people this year at conferences and from working together, and I wish everyone a happy 2004.
