Conference Materials Site

Guys, in an effort to pool our resources and provide a single repository for conference materials, I have created http://conf.php.net The idea is that when/if you give a talk on PHP, you will be able to refer people to http://conf.php.net/borland (for example, since I just gave a talk at the Borland conference). It will also give other people the ability to put together presentations quickly by reusing other peoples' slides and thus enable more people to get out there and promote PHP. Along with the fancy graphical view, I have written a little script that creates a static presentation for inclusion on conference proceedings cds. The script is gen-static.php and it is designed to be run manually with a bit of tweaking. Have a look at the first presentation there for a quick overview of the architecture of the thing. I suggest the following presentation setup: [Linux Instructions] - Laptop running in 1024x768 resolution. Most decent projectors do a good job at this resolution these days. - Run the truetype font server (xfstt) - Netscape Navigator 4.73 - Under File-Preferences-Font select Verdana-ttf for your variable width font and Courier New for your fixed width font. Netscape will show you a font size of 0 in the dialog, but type 12 into the text box to force it to a 12pt default font. - Under the View menu turn off all the toolbars to get as much screen real estate as possible. -Rasmus
