In this new post on his blog, Chris Shiflett mentions heading off to the PHPWest conference and some of the speaches he'll be giving.

I'll be giving a talk called the PHP Security Audit HOWTO. Although Brain Bulb offers professional PHP security audits, this talk will focus on how to effectively leverage peer reviews. Professional security audits are expensive, and peer reviews are a frequently overlooked alternative. A good audit takes a lot of time, but you probably have coworkers who spend half their time reading Slashdot anyway. Put those lazy bastards to work! :-)

Bruce Perens is also giving a talk, so perhaps I'll get to meet him. PHP folks might know him as the name behind the Bruce Perens Open Source Series, the series that brought us PHP 5 Power Programming (by Andi, Derick, and Stig). (This book is now freely available in PDF format.)

So, if you're headed up to Vancouver too for the conference, keep your eye out for Chris, and be sure to attend at least one of his sessions - there's tons of PHP security goodness in every bite!
