First day of the PHP Vikinger

For about 4 hours now, the PHP Vikinger is in full swing. Everyone arrived between 10 and 11, and together we hacked up a makeshift agenda. Remember that this is an “unconference”, so attendees are in full charge of the whole event. Our lead viking Zak, inspired by the mighty power of Thor himself, took it upon him to moderate the scheduling and get everything started. Now, everyone who wants gets up and does a presentation, starts a discussion or - as Kris is currently doing - stipulates brainstorming with the attending core developers and other PHP nerds.

The current discussion is even somewhat strategic, pointing things out that PHP still lacks, things that need to adopt to changes in our environment and stuff that is really good in comparison to other languages. Kris is creating a list of everything that’s thrown at him and every item so far has been diligently discussed.

After that, Ilia and me will do some security stuff, with him doing introductions and me likely focusing on the server side. My obsession with securing servers without touching apps is well-known, plus it’s a good place to show off the Hardening patch.
