## 1. From Zend to Laminas - the future of Zend

Quote from a blog article by Matthew Wei'er O'Phinney: "However, Rogue Wave has recently made a strategic decision to focus its efforts on the Zend Server product of the Zend portfolio."

Zend Framework has been moved out of Zend to become the Laminas Project.

Will Zend continue its efforts on the Zend Engine after 2 acquisitions, seeing that it has let go of its community framework
