A word about " "call for papers" that is relevant for a couple dozen people at most. "

Edin, unfortunately we haven't met in person, but from my experience with organizing the International PHP Conference for the last 7 (!) years, let me say that these Conferences are one of those rare moments where people like PHP Core Developers can meet in person. I remember very well the meetings about the initial PDO meeting happening on the International PHP Conference - well, those developers gave some sessions for the audience, but they got their flight and accomodation paid, so it's both a win-win situation. If you comprise this into the current discussion, saying something like "that is relevant for a couple dozen people at most" is not a very sophisticated point. -- Mayflower GmbH / ThinkPHP schotte@mayflower.de Pleichertorstrasse 2 Tel: 0931 / 35965-0 97070 Würzburg Fax: 0931 / 35965-28 * http://www.mayflower.de/ * http://blog.thinkphp.de/
