PHP Unconference Europe ann...

What is it with me? Haven't blogged in over a year and whenever I do blog, it always seems to be about those darn unconferences. There really must be something to them, right? Right?

Well, if you've always been intruiged by the raving reviews the PHP Unconference in Hamburg, Germany is getting (which took place again just last weekend, and, again, was a blast), but were put off by the fact that it's in Germany, which is far, far away and people might not speak English and eat only Sauerkraut, wear Lederhosen and are overall silly (hint: only the last part is true), then now is your chance to experience the unconfence spirit in a more international setting:

The PHP Unconference Europe is scheduled to take place in Manchester on February 19/20, 2011

These unconferences are entirely community-driven, noncommercial events and have become kind of a family meeting of the PHP development scene in Germany. I hope the same can be achieved Europe-wide. Mind you, the number of tickets will be limited, though!

Jakob Westhoff was kind enough to provide a small write-up of his impressions of last weekend's unconference in Hamburg. If you've ever wondered how an unconference works or why you should go, this will give you a great overview.

I'm really looking forward to the Manchester unconference and meeting a lot of new folks!
