Lukas spends most of his time playing with Symfony2 as well as pushing the PHPCR ecosystem and dabbeling in database technology in general. He also maintains several Symfony2 bundles. In the past he has co-managed the PHP 5.3 release, created the PEAR Group and developed several popular PEAR packages. When not coding he is busy beating up his body playing ultimate frisbee.

PHP Content Repository Specification View session page
Session en anglais - Intermédiaire
The PHPCR specification defines an API that combines the power of NoSQL databases with hierarchical data structures and versioning, powerful search and other features. Content repositories, like Midgard2 or Jackrabbit, can implement the API to provide generic access to their content. Using PHPCR, applications can focus on the application logic and use the API to quickly implement CMS functionality and choose from the solution that best fits their server requirements and scalability needs to handle final persistence.
