Re: Call for Papers: eZ publish Conference 2006

I was reluctant to reply anything to this mail, because as far as I see, this is going to be a product specific event of sorts, unlike the general PHP conferences we tend to announce. We don't have a practice of announcing CMS conferences, like the recent Drupal Conference, where Rasmus took part and had a session (and which also had some general PHP and MySQL sessions, but was a Drupal themed conference anyway).

I understand your point, what are the criteria though and would it make sense to change this practice? General PHP conferences include application-specific talks, application-specific conferences include general PHP talks. Where do you draw the line and aren't both of them of interest to php.net readers? FYI: At eZ publish conference, 1/4 of talks will focus on general PHP topics, mostly presented by well-known speakers (some of them already confirmed). Cheers! Sandro
