Re: PHP at COMMON *BOF REQUEST*

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the deal:

Sunday night at ATE (That's Ask The Experts for the Acronym Challenged) 
there will be a table for PHP. We hope to have an IBM expert at that table.
Monday there is the session and the LAB for PHP
Monday from 12:30 to 1:45 is Ask the Developers (ATD) and PHP will be 
represented there as well. The ATD session does not conflict with either 
the Lab or the Session.

Any of you are welcome to post for a BOF which certainly will be 
accepted if enough folks sign up but we cannot get any IBM develpoers or 
experts to commit to the BOF. Monday night is Very busy with BOFs 
already and the developer will only be in Minneapolis Sunday Eve and Monday.
