Last week several developers in the PHP community (and some from the Drupal, WordPress and Joomla communities) were invited to head up to Seattle and talk with Microsoft about what they're currently doing, how good it is and what they could be doing better. Some of the attendees have written up their thoughts about the event in their own wrapups:

• Alison Gianotto
• Chris Cornutt
• Cal Evans
• Maarten Balliauw
• Peter Laudati
• Marco Tabini
• Keith Casey
• Romain Bourdon
• Helgi Þormar Þorbjörnsson
• Sam Moffatt
• Rafael Dohms

Some great discussion came out of the event - not just between the attendees and Microsoft, but also between the attendees themselves with some things coming to light about the Drupal/WordPress/Joomla communities and their relation to the PHP community as a whole. If you weren't able to attend, you can check out what all was talked about via Ben Ramsey's great notes on each of the presentations.
