During the days of December, the Perl community used to maintain the Perl Advental Calendar. In a similar fashion, the PHP community now has its own PHP Advent Calendar, thanks to Chris Shiflett who is maintaining it this year.

Along with great PHP tips, the calendar also features many of the prominent PHP personalities (and their photos!). The PHP community is one of the nicest communities that grows around a programming language and/or philosophy that I have ever encountered. Go on to the calendar to find out about its people. And thanks again to Chris for compiling it!
