Actually, I had pointed that out in IRC, and now that I know this is the place to do it, happy to make suggestions here. The problem that I ran into, this being my first time submitting a conference talk, was that I went through this process: 1) Head to php.net/conferences … Look around … See the message in the upper left. 2) Surprised when I click it that it isn't a contact form, nor an email link. Read the page 3) Can't find any specific 'for conferences' section on there, bugs yes, security yes, problems with php yes, and then a generic "webmasters". I didn't think that you would want everyone wanting a conference listing to be firing an email to a full webmasters list … and there was no specific 'conference' mention, even though the conference page implied there would be. 4) So I asked in IRC to see what people said, and was told to use webmaster@php.net So my suggestion would be if you are going to keep the 'let us know' hyperlink pointing to contact us, to add a specific "for conference postings" blurb on that page. Either that, or just make the 'let us know' link be a mailto: to php-webmaster@lists.php.net Eli -- Eli White Zend Community Relations Manager && DevZone Editor-in-Chief http://devzone.zend.com/ | Skype: EliCrossbow | Twitter: EliW
