So, Laracon is in Texas this year.

Instead of having two PHP/PHP-adjacent conferences in Texas in the same year, we're taking a year off, and throwing our weight behind @cascadia in Portland, Oregon.

That's right. The Pacific Northwest is getting a PHP conference for the first time since 2019!

Dates are October 24-26 (Thursday-Saturday), and their CFP is open now at https://cfp.cascadiaphp.com. Sign up for their mailing list at https://cascadiaphp.com/registration to know when ticket sales go live!

It's just about lunchtime at #longhornphp. Hop into either of the two serving lines in Hill Country B, or swing by registration if you preordered a special meal. Then grab a seat in Hill Country CD.

We'll have another set of Open Spaces proposals over lunch, after which voting will continue until 2:30pm.

Any dinners going on tonight at @longhorn ?

longhorn, 6 months ago to random

Basically past-tense now, but this afternoon's #longhornphp tutorial block consists of Enhancing Developer Workflows: Make, PHP Tools, and Pre-Commit Hooks by Aaron Holbrook, Engaged Leadership Practicum by Leslie Martinich and Christina Aldan, and Let's Hack by @valorin

longhorn, 6 months ago to random

...and we're well underway on this year's #longhornphp tutorial day! We have
@alena walking through BDD and browser testing with Codeception,
@mooreds explaining how to protect your APIs, and @ramsey explaining how to build Composer packages.

longhorn, 6 months ago to random

Heads-up for attendees: due to logistical issues (ahem, $airline), we're swapping @valorin and @mooreds's tutorial slots tomorrow. "Let's Hack" is now at 1pm, while "Protecting Your APIs" is now at 9am. Our website and Joind.in have been updated to reflect this.

Also, we're less than 24 hours away from this year's #longhornphp conference. Exciting times!
