But we do have a fun video of what happens when you take 150 engineers to a golf course and let them loose on it and some great news coming out of the PHP Foundation with a brand new member added to the board one that we all know and we all appreciate the work that he puts in to the community. So grab a cup of tea or coffee whichever you prefer and checkout this weeks Artisan Weekly Edition
