[edit] Requested topics

Please list any subjects you'd like to see talks on in the space below. Please sign your request by adding ~~~ (or ~~~~ to add the date as well) and also add your signature to any topics someone else has suggested that you'd like to hear.

There was brief discussion on the discussion mailing list about a desire for more non-technical talks and suggestions/offers on topics not directly related to PHP are very welcome.

I would like to see a talk on the dangers of PHP, the Insecurities of your applications, Could be an interesting one. Daniel Noel-Davies Daniel Noel-Davies 16:18, 15 August 2010 (BST)

PHP 5.4 is due for a beta release this month, and should be released for real by the end of the year. In the light of that, I would suggest it would be good to get a talk about what's new in 5.4. (preferably from someone who actually knows about it - anyone can read the [todo list] but a talk should be done by someone who can explain all those points). Spudley 15:52, 1 September 2011 (BST)
