Derick Rethans has a reminder of the upcoming International PHP Conference (and a mention of some of his talks).

I will present on two topics: PHP 6 and Unicode in which I explain the current short comings in PHP's support for i18n and l10n and the new support for Unicode that will be implemented for PHP 6; and How PHP Ticks in which I will explain some of the details on how PHP works internally.

Besides those two talks I will also act as coach for the PHP Lounge. All of the three evens will happen on Tuesday November 8th.

The PHP Lounge is a cool addition to the conference program, allowing people time to just get together and work on their code, getting input and help on various aspects, with Coaches on hand to help you along the way. The best part is - you don't have to be a PHP pro to hang out. You can be new to the language and still find the time useful...
