Tobias Schlitt has posted about this year's FrOSCon conference happening August 23rd and 24th near Bonn.

One of the most amazing German OS events is right in front of the door. Since the organizers of the FrOSCon expect a massive ammount of visitors, they ask everyone kindly to register on their website. If you did not do so, yet, take your heels and do so!

He mentions some of the "PHP VIP" that'll be there including Marcus Boerger, Derick Rethans and Rasmus Lerdorf as well as the dedicated PHP track they'll have this year. You can find out more information about the conference from the PHP@FrOSCon website.

The Call for Papers for this year's FrOSCon has officially been announced:

We decided in cooperation with the FrOSCon team to hold a subconference this year. This means we will have our own track with talks and maybe workshops. We want to encourage you to propose a talk for this event.

The subconference will be in St. Augustin, near Bonn on August 23rd and 24th. You can check out complete details on when and where to submit your talk idea on the official Call for Papers page on the FrOSCon site. Topics suggested include innovative PHP products, testing in development and integrating PHP with other technology.

Sebastian Bergmann has posted about this year's FrOSCon 2008 and the Call for Papers they've issued:

Focus of the conference is a comprehensive range of talks about current topics in Free Software and Open Source. Furthermore, space will be provided for developers of free software and open source projects to organize their own developer meetings or even their own program.

This year will be the third annual FrOSCon and will be held near Bonn, Germany. Besides the main conference, there will also be a sub-conference that has a Call for Papers of its own.

Tobias Schlitt posts today about the release of the program of the PHP track for this year's Free and Open Source Conference.

We finally managed to get the program online for the professional PHP track at the Free and Open Source Conference 2006, which takes place on the next weekend (June 24th and 25th) in Bonn, Germany. We will have 6 PHP related talks on Saturday, held by professional PHP developers, and a hackaton event on Sunday. Everyone is invited to join us and have a good time.

He lists the selected talks as well, including "Using Geeklog as a Web Application Framework", "SVG and AJAX", and "XMLReader/Writer".
