LoneStar PHP conference details, April 25th-26th

[Chris Spruck]

Hi everyone!

The organizers of LoneStar PHP have posted their schedule and all the relevant details at http://lonestarphp.com. AtlantaPHP is a community sponsor for the third year in a row. The first year I attended, we had 10 people from our group there, which really impressed everyone and was even mentioned in a keynote, so it would be great to get a big group from Atlanta again this year. It's a lot of fun and attracts many well-known speakers, so while smaller in scope (and cost!) than php[tek], it's just as good as any other conference around.

As I mentioned for php[tek], let us know on our Google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/atlantaphp) if you're planning to go, so people might share rooms and rides.

I'll be going this year. I arrive around 7pm, and I've got a rental car, so I can give rides from the airport to anyone else arriving around that time.
