Therefore, here comes the reminder and the announcement, that our call for papers is extended until June 29th. So if you did not send your proposal, yet, please submit it ASAP, so that we can start evaluating the proposals. All information about PHP@FrOSCon can be found on our official PHP room website. - 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. - PHP UG Dortmund: Location change this week Hence our usual location, the HiccUp, has a large reservation, this weeks PHP Usergroup Dortmund meeting will take place at the "Boomerang" in Dortmund down town. This meeting will (because of the lack of wifi and power there) without notebooks. Sure you may bring yours, if you have a special problemor want to show something interesting, but it will not be the usual hacking session. For beer lovers, I recommend leaving the car at home, because Boomerang is an Australian bar and they have quite delicious beer (Fosters). ;) Beside that, they have also really delicious food. - 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. - Back to Windows... Today I needed to start up my VMWare to test some PHP stuff on a Windows XP installation. I was quite curious, how I would perform after more than 4 years completly without Windows. Here are my experiences... - Happy birthday PHP UG DO! Today the PHP Usergroup Dortmund turns 2 years and I want to congratulate with this small post! - Kore going mad again: kaforkl My friend Kore is going mad again. As usual, it has something to do with graphics... But this time in a completly different way than before: Kore created his own small programming language, which he named "kaforkl". - We found Bielefeld! Did we? As posted before, Kore and me went to a the "Christmas Cookie Baking" event of the PHP Usergroup Bielefeld last Saturday, organized by Carola (Sammy). We were quite suprised, that we found Bielefeld so easily, although the internet told us about the great Bielefeld Conspiracy before. Anyway, we found Sammies home and had a great time with brunching and baking cookies, together with her husband and Arne from Hamburg. Afterwards we went to the Christmas Market of Hamelin, the town which is famous in Germany for its story about The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It was really a great event and I want to thank Sammy for this! - Visiting the Bielefeld UG Kore and me are going to visit the PHP Usergroup Bielefeld on Saturday for a christmas event. I'm very much looking forward to this and quite currious, if Bielefeld really exists (the german version of this article is much better)! ;)
