First PHP conference on 10/05/2000 - 10/06/2000

Dear folks, we are proud to announce that we have now finished the program for the first PHP conference. Although all the lectures will be held in german speaking language (perhaps next year it's time to think about an international conference), it could be interesting for most of you. We are also proud to have acquired the "creme de la creme" of the german speaking PHP scene, including Kris Köhntopp, Tobias Ratschiller, Sascha Schumann, Ulf Wendel, Hartmut Holzgraefe and many more. If someone of you is interested in sponsoring the conference, please feel free to drop a short note at orga@php-kongress.de. Thanks a lot, Björn Schotte.
