The CakeFest site as been updated to announce pre-registration and other information about CakeFest #2, which will be held in Buenos Aries, Argentina at the beginning of December.

As of this post, the speakers haven't been selected (want to give a talk? The Call for Papers is still open through June 13th, 2008!) but you can find out more about the conference and the location on the conference website.

Sorry this took so long, but here you can download the PDF or the much better Keynote version of my slides.

He also has an embedded Slideshare player on the post of you want to check out the presentation without the download.

Since I'm not much of a story teller I'll make this a picture post (my hosting company should really re-think that unlimited bandwidth package, haha).

He has shots of several of the attendees (including names known to most of the CakePHP community), the location for the conference, shots of the "off time" during the conference and some alligator kissing.

I just want to say thank you to all of the folks who came and especially those who have been involved with the logistics of all of this. It was a pleasure to meet everybody and I'm looking forward to the next CakeFest in Argentina.

I would like to tell you about the first CakeFest we had from February 6th till February 8th in Orlando / Florida. I attended the conference which was dedicated to CakePHP [...] There were a few nice talks as well.

He mentions talks by Garrett Woodworth, his own talk about what's new in CakePHP 1.2, Nate Abele's look at REST interfaces and a talk from Felix Geisendorfer dealing with the CakePHP/jQuery combination.

Jeff Loiselle, Nate Abele, Mariano Iglesias, Peter Vanhee, Antonio De Marco, Paul Kruger, Timo Derstappen, Frederic Bollon, and Yann Le Blevac wrap up CakeFest at 1am in the hotel lobby.

You can either grab the mp3 directly or you can subscribe to their feed and get this and other great episodes as they come out. The Show is recorded live and listeners can ask questions of the hosts in real-time via the CakePHP channel on the Freenode IRC network.

With the recent launch of CakePHP 1.2 beta, the Cake world is now more active than ever. What better way to keep up with the latest than joining CakePHP's core team and prominent developers in three exciting days of CakePHP programming talks.

You can get full details about three day event from the conference page including a way to submit your talk proposal (it ends January 21st, 2008 so hurry!) and information on the area and a link to signup.
