Over the course of the last few years we have gradually changed our approach to SXSW, preferring to move toward a small-group discussion format.

This is a great move for EllisLab and for the community; there is an immeasurable value to this discourse.  This year we are excited to continue with this format and to add to it; this year, you, through the services at UserVoice, will have the opportunity to choose where we meet and what we discuss.

Read the full details on the ExpressionEngine blog (direct link to entry).  Of particular note for CodeIgniter users, we will will be offering private Lunch with EllisLab events to exceptional contributors to the community, including those who run CodeIgniter community sites.  This is your opportunity to tell us what we can do to support your endeavor while enjoying a meal on our tab.

Our Subversion repositories have moved.  Please update your repositories or check out new ones from the new location: http://svn.ellislab.com/CodeIgniter/trunk

As always, information about our Subversion repositories can be found on the download page and installation instructions.

Firefox 3.6 was released today. I love it. Love it. One thing I wasn’t crazy about was a behaviour change when opening links in new tabs. Before 3.6, they opened at the end of the tab row, but now they open beside the tab you are currently on. Want to change it back?

• “about:config” in your address bar.
• search for “insertRelatedAfterCurrent”. The full config is “browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent”.
• Set it to “false” (just click it until it toggles).

Enjoy!

There’s been some really neat activity on the CodeIgniter front recently. Great stuff.

Jamie Rumbelow has taken over as CodeIgniter Community Cheiftain, after an admirable job by the imminent Michael Wales. We’re lucky to have both as part of our community.

Rick Ellis has discovered Twitter (see him @rickellis) and is dropping all kinds of cool news about CI and EllisLab.

The CodeIgniter repository itself is getting a bit more love recently due to a few folks putting in their own time. Here’s how I spent my weekend (check out both the time (yup, 3am) and message of rev 1789 :)

There’s a lot of exciting things ahead for the framework - its a great time to be involved!

I just wanted to take a moment to update everyone about BambooInvoice. Although a new version hasn’t been released since April, it is still very much under active development. The next version will be 0.9, and features a series of enhancements to make Bamboo more flexible, robust, and suited to a broader array of uses.

Despite earlier concerns about my choice of license, I can definitively say that for the near future, BambooInvoice will remain GPL. If I do change the license, it will be to another Open Source license.

On a technical level, I’ve put up the project at GitHub (http://github.com/derekallard/BambooInvoice) as an experiment in using Git as a code repository. This is my first time working with the system, and while the code is up there now, I’m not sure I’ll stay with Git - although it does feel nice so far, working with Git is pretty different from what I’m used to with Subversion. At the very least, major versions of the code will be put up there (ie: releases).

To the question of when, I’m honestly not sure yet. Its pretty close, but there are a few important pieces not yet in place, and I don’t feel comfortable even giving estimates or guesses. I can say development on the next release has been fast and furious as time allows, however the release of ExpressionEngine 2 has been taking up all my time in the last few months. That said, there is real progress; most notably

A full rewrite of the tax system from the ground up. Unlimited taxes, configurably applied to your invoices and items.

Additionally, here’s a sampling of the current changelog:

We’re happy to announce the next CodeIgniter Community Chieftain, Jamie Rumbelow!  This invitation only volunteer program focuses on identifying stellar examples from the community, and letting them utilize their strengths to help maintain the community and act as a liaison when needed to EllisLab.

Jamie will be taking the reigns from our first Community Chieftain, Michael Wales.  Thanks Mike for your year and a half of volunteer service, and welcome aboard, Jamie!
