I've been asked to post some updates on DPC2008.

The first results of the CFI have been announced. Most requested speaker was Derick Rethans. He'll be at DPC and present an XDebug workshop on the Tutorial Day, and a presentation about the ezComponents framework on the main conference. Most requested topic was a look ahead at PHP5.3 and PHP6. We've found Stefan Priebsch, experienced speaker and expert on PHP migration, to be willing to present this topic. On the main conference day, he will give an overview of the future of PHP.

There are 2 more slots to fill. We're already talking to candidates so expect some more speaker announcements soon.

The total line-up right now is: Zeev Suraski, Marco Tabini, Sebastian Bergmann, Matthew Weier O'Phinney, Lorna Jane Mitchell, Derick Rethans, Stefan Priebsch, Fabien Potencier, Stefan Koopmanschap, Gaylord Aulke, Dennis-Jan Broerse and myself.

The Tutorial Day is almost sold out, there are about 20 tickets left, so hurry if you want to join one of the tutorials. For the main conference day, which has a bigger capacity, 40% of the tickets is sold right now. If you haven't purchased your tickets yet, you might not want to wait until the end, we expect to sell out (luckily not as fast as last year, but it will happen ).

About a month ago we announced the Dutch PHP Conference that is going to take place in Amsterdam one week from now.

Apparently there is much demand for such a conference because we already sold out all tickets one day before the early bird discount ended, and our line-up wasn't even complete at that point.

We just confirmed the last addition to the program: Derick Rethans, from Xdebug and ezComponents fame, will give a talk about Test-driven Development.

The complete program is available on the conference website.

I'm attending the UK PHP Conference in London next month. At approx. 72 euro entrance fee, and with only 40 euro worth of planetickets (ok, plus 60 euro airport tax but even then), this must be one of the cheapest conferences ever.

I'm very interested in Derick's talk about eZ components, as it has similarities to ATK, and some of the components seem very useful.

If any ATK users are attending, I'd be happy to meet you there. Just drop me a note.

Oh, and by the way:
