Sorry for cutting out the lime stuff. But I really wanted to get the migrations topic set right. But there's a chance that I write a blog post about this. :)
Using Doctrine migrations and lime testing
Dennis Benkert (Feb 16, 2010)
Talk at Symfony Live Conference 2010 (English - US)
Maintaining the database structure during the development process of an application
can be hard when working together with other people. Using Doctrine Migrations and lime Testing
you can ensure that everyone working on the application has the same database structure.
This decreases conflicts during the development process and is also very helpfull when delpoying
new versions of your applications to your live servers. In this session I'm going to show how to
set up Doctrine Migrations in symfony projects and how you can use tests to check that everything
works after you migrated your database.

Great introduction in migrations. Good to see the area covered in-depth and the questions were quite good as well.
My compliments on the slides, they are very well done!

Very good presentation, Dennis. Although I knew most of the stuff it was well presented and you proved knowledge of the subject.

Strong stuff good thoughts on how to cope with migrations for newly installed plugins and a frank discussion of the current limitations of migrations for plugins when data must be transformed

Was very helpful to me, I got a lot of insights, thanks a lot. I liked also the presentation style, which was straight on the topic and was oriented to the perspective of an average symfony developer (I guess I am average ;-).

Great presentation by denderello, as usual. I too was waiting for part "Lime testing". Anyway some tips about migrations are very usefull, I think I'll study a bit more about that.

Great presentation and nice slides. The problem is not the technical content, I suggest you work more on the "entertainment" part of your presentations.

Nice presentation,
too bad for the lime part, please do try to publish a post on it! ;)
Migration is hell, how about noSql solutions?

Thought the presentation was great. This was always a feature that I knew would be great integrated with Doctrine. Thanks for the work you've done, also I was interesting in the lime testing.

Presentation was great introduction to (doctrine) database migrations but I really missed the 'lime testing' part.
