I am thinking around March 2010, probably in Europe as currently I am getting the feeling that most participants on this list are based in Europe. I would prefer to have it happen independently of a conference to avoid distractions. Or maybe a day before or after a conference if that can help us cut down on travel costs. But I am not sure if there is even a conference that is feasible.

Obviously moving PDO forward was never a one person gig but I do realize that some sort of leadership is imperative. So I am sending this email more as a heads up to anyone listening to take over the helm. I hope that I can at least find the time to participate in discussions etc ...

Lukas - I think many of us are in the same boat :(
I just don't have the time to dig deeply into php_firebird when I have a fully 
operational solution with ADOdb and generic drivers.

Without a GROUP of people who are interested in developing PDO, I am of the 
opinion that it should actually be pulled back out of the core since the generic 
drivers ARE being developed further, but some projects ARE also converting to 
PDO in the believe that it already provides a cross database compatibility which 
is not really the case?

Perhaps a post on internals to the propose that and see if anybody else comes 
forward? I get the feeling that there are a number of developers who are very 
active pushing their own agendas, such as the 'improvements' in PHP5.3, and so 
other core areas such as the more fundamental PHP6 have now lost momentum :(
