Events

Hello fellow readers of PHP-Planet (at least the remaining ones who did not yet go on vacation ). After the success of this year's PHP Unconference in Hamburg, Germany, there was little doubt that the event would not remain a single incident. The remaining question was not if, but when should we do the next one? This question can now be answered: On the weekend of April 26th / 27th, the PHP Unconference 2008 will once again take place in our beautiful city. We want to stick to the proven concept of some pre-announced sessions combined with a spontaneus program that is being proposed and voted for on-site by the attendees, as this has worked tremendously well during the first installment. The unconference will most probably once again be held at the premises of the local University - we don't have a 100% official confirmation yet, but things are looking bright (also, the University officials seemed to have enjoyed this year's unconference just as much as the rest of us ). The only downside is that at the same weekend, there's a huge sports event, the Hanse-Marathon, taking place in Hamburg, which is likely to block some of the traffic on Sunday and will also have an effect on available hotels - so if you're planning on coming (and you should ), and wish to stay in a hotel, you should book well in advance. I will announce more details as they're being fleshed out - all information will become available on the unconference blog first, though, so head over there and subscribe to the RSS feed To the official unconference blog (sorry, German only for now)
