On 7php.com today there's another interview with a member of the PHP community posted - Amit Singh, an organizer of the largest Indian Unconference, PHPCamp.org

In this edition, I talked with Amit Kumar Singh The founder of AmiWorks. Amit (@onlyphp) is a very passionate developer and has been the organizer of the Biggest Un-Conference In Pune in 2008. Following this success, he founded PHPCamp.org. He was the guy who coined the famous "Pune Effect" in India. I have been specially enthusiastic with how he makes each of his projects a simple success by just having the mindset of "Experiments Never Fail" and hence do not hesitate at all in experimenting every of your (coding/projects) dreams.

Questions in the interview ask Amit about things like:

• His history with the PHP language
• Some of his advice to a beginner
• What resources (books, blogs, etc) he recommends
• How he usually debugs his code
• Where he sees the PHP ecosystem in five years
• More about his PHPCamp project/conference

Phil Sturgeon attended this year's CICONF 2012 (UK) and has shared some of his thoughts and experiences in a new post to his blog.

It's been a few days since CICONF and this is my first chance to get my thoughts together after a few busy days. In all I am extremely pleased with the event, and so far I have seen nothing but positive feedback on the #ciconf hash-tag and not heard any complaints. Winner!

He goes through both days of the conference - Friday and Saturday - describing things from his perspective (an organizer), some of the speakers that presented and some of the evening activities.

On the Zend Developer Zone today, Cal Evans spotlights one of the organizers for the upcoming Zend/PHP Conference - Te Smith.

One of the great things about my job is the people I get to work with on a daily basis. One of the people that make the experience so much fun is one of the "Zend Goddesses of Marketing" Ms. Te Smith. Te is managing the details of the coming ZendCon so I thought I'd call her up and quiz her on the conference.

Because the conference is mere weeks away, getting phone time with Te is nigh-on impossible. However after sufficient supplication and begging, I was granted an audience. Here's what Te had to say when I asked her how things were shaping up for ZendCon.

Te talks about how well things have come together, what to expect at the conference, and some of the keynotes that have been scheduled.
