- Quebec - 3rd day

  Yesterday was my 3rd day here in Montreal and the first pre-conference day
  of the PHP Conference Quebec, where the tutorials/workshops took place. I
  held my PEAR workshop before noon, and indeed, it went really well. People
  were highly interested in the project and our packages and the conversation
  situation was quite good. The slides and examples are available here or in a
  couple of minutes from the PEARWeb support section.

- Charge for Linuxtag entrance

  The Linuxtag e.V. recently announced that for this years Linuxtag a charge
  will be have to paid for entrance. One day will cost 15,- €, 2 days
  25,- € and all 3 days 35,- €. Members of the open source
  community should be granted free entrance, in the way, that the exhibiting
  projects will receive a certain amount of free tickets. The organizers of
  Linuxtag explain their decision for an entrance charge inside an open letter
  (German) to the open source community.

- 2nd day in Quebec

  Today was my second day in Quebec, more exactly in Montreal. After I woke up
  at about 7:00 a.m. (which is pretty late, if you take into account, that
  this is 2:00 p.m. at home) I started working on my slides again, because the
  weather seemed still not very good (better than yesterday, of course). When
  I finished that (around 11:00), the weather had changed drastically... It
  really was marvelous! I just wanted to go out to get some food and see some
  of the downtown, when Damien called me and told me that he needed a speakers
  room to store the conference equipment in and asked me if it would be ok,
  when I changed the room (to one having a safe). I agreed and switche... to a
  room on the 23rd floor... ;) You can see both differences (weather and room)
  below:

- Canada - First impressions

  As promised, I start writing a bit about my Canada trip to the PHP Quebec
  Conference 2005.

- On the way to Canada

  Currently I'm standing in front of a very uncomfortable web-terminal at
  Frankfurt a.M. (Germany) airport, simply to blog that I'm on my way to PHP
  Quebec Conference. I recently arrived in Frankfurt (from where near I
  recently moved my home away) from Düsseldorf and now have to wait for 2
  more hours to get my connection flight to Montreal.

- Going to Amsterdam

  I recently got notified to be speaker at the International PHP Conference in
  Amsterdam this year. I'll have a powerworkshop ("XML and Web services with
  PHP5 and PEAR", in cooperation with Stephan Schmidt) this year and a normal
  session (PEAR and PHP5). See the abstracts below:

- Going to Quebec

  I recently received the acception for my proposal for the PHP Conference
  Quebec 2005. I will give a double session (some kind of workshop) on PEAR
  and how to use it. I'm very sold to be part of that conference, since I've
  never been to Kanada before. :)

- Call for papers: Linuxtag 2005

  As usual, the Linuxtag in Karlsruhe, Germany, will take place in June next
  year (22nd - 25th). This time, it's the anniversary 10th Linuxtag. Since
  yesterday Linuxtag expects talk proposals from open source developers on
  topics around the free operating system and other open source projects.
  Until now the call-for-papers website is German ony, which will change in
  the near future, I guess.

- More photos from the PHP Conference

  I added some more photos from the PHP Conference in Frankfurt to my gallery.
  Thanks to Nico Edtinger.

- Back from the PHP Conference

  Yeah, I guess I was the one with the shortest way home, today. After
  bringing Lukas, Marcus, Hartmut and Aaron to the airport, it took me about
  15 minutes to get home (because of some after-work traffic on the highway).
