Re: PHP at COMMON *BOF REQUEST*

Is the BOF sessions open to non-attendees? I will only be there as an
exhibitor but would love to sit in on this BOF.

I looked on COMMON.org but couldn't find any info on that question.

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.
