Conferences
===========



- phpDay in Italy

  Although I sadly cannot take part in the Italian PHP Conference, the phpDay,
  this year, I'd like to advertise this nice event here.

- The time of the conferences...

  While I have not been to any conference since last november, the time of the
  conferences seems to come again. So, here I go:

- PHP@FrOSCon: Call for papers

  The PHP Usergroup Dortmund is proud to announce the call for papers for this
  years PHP room at the "Free and OpenSource Conference". The conference,
  which is organized purely by open source enthusiasts on a voluntary basis,
  will take place from 2007-08-25 and 26. Location of the FrOSCon will again
  be the University of St. Augustin (near Bonn), Germany.

- Today in Dortmund: "HTTP(S) Load Balancing und High Availability mit Wackamole"

  Just a little reminder. Jan Lehnardt will give a talk on HTTP(S) Load
  Balancing und High Availability mit Wackamole today at the PHP Usergroup
  meeting in Dortmund. As usual, attending the talk is free of charge. If you
  are interessted to come around, please give us a short note via email, IRC
  (#phpug@EUIRC) or as a comment here.

- PHPUGDO: "3D-Rendering Algorithms"

  Kore will give a session about "3D-Rendering Algorithms" on our upcoming
  usergroup meeting here in Dortmund, this Thursday (14th). He will go into
  detail of some of the algorithms used in Image_3D and introduce us to 3D
  rendering in general.

- PHPUGDO - Upcoming talks

  Last Thursday, during our regular usergroup meeting, we finally managed to
  set up some talks we had planned for a longer time now:

- Photos from IPC2K6?

  While I did not have a camera with me to this years International PHP
  Conference, I definitly saw lot's of flashes all of the conf. I wonder where
  all those photos have gone? Aaron already posted his on Flickr, but where is
  the rest?

- Tim Bray compared Java, Ruby and PHP

  During his keynote on the International PHP Conference 2006 Bray performed a
  little comparison between Java, Ruby (mainly Rails) and PHP. While I first
  thought, this could only be some dumb marketing stuff, the presentation was
  actually really good. Tim first introduced his comparison basis (Scaling,
  Dev Tools, Dev Speed and Maintainability) and explained his views on the 4
  topics and which keywords he considers under each of them. This introduction
  was really good and well-founded. After that, he showed and explained a
  diagram to make the actual comparison:

- First slides from International PHP Conference 2006

  Kore and me just finished out talk "The eZ Components roundup" at the
  International PHP Conference 2006 in Frankfurt. You can find the slides at
  the PHP talks website.

- PHP Weekender: All slides online

  I've just put the slides from our PHP Weekender event online. You can find
  them on the PHP Weekender website for download.
