In a bit more detailed item from the main PHP.net site this morning, there's a posting about the upcoming International PHP Conference.

The traditional International PHP Conference 2003 will be taking place from 2nd November to 5th November in Frankfurt (FFM). The Call for Papers has been issued, so if you have an interesting talk, the organizers would love to hear about it! You can expect a gathering of PHP experts and core developers and to focus on PHP 5 as the main topic for the conference. You can find the CfP on the website. The deadline is 17th July, 2003. The conference is also featuring an OpenSource Exhibition where PHP related OpenSource projects can present themselves for free.

If you get a chance to think up a good topic and want to submit a paper on it, get to work! The July deadline will be here before you know it. I'd love to be able to get to go to this one....too bad I'm stuck over here and it's over there...ah well, maybe someday.
