Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] Dealing with CFP / Conference dates

Hi,

I have been out of the country on business and my php.net environment setup
is back home on my laptop. I'm wishing there was an easy way to set up a VM
+ php.net mirror setup on a box so I could have done it on my client's
machine, but that's a different conversation altogether.

The code was already submitted a while back for this, but there's still a
few blockers for me.
1) I can commit into the website repo, but I can't commit into the '
master.php.net' repo.
2) If I'm not granted commit access to master.php.net, then I need to be
able to make a Pull Request to it. The problem here is we don't have the ''
master.php.net' repository on github so I can't PR against it.

Can someone sort this out either my commit karma, or github repos so I can
progress?

Many thanks,
Paul
