The 4th PHPucEU is taking place on May 9th and 10th on the wonderful island of Majorca, Spain.
For the 3rd PHP Unconference Europe in 2014 about 100 attendees came to Spain and joined a bunch of different sessions. Our mission is to bring together an international group with knowledge of PHP. In order to address as wide an audience as possible, the language of all sessions, presentations and round table discussions will be English.
One of the key aspects of an unconference, besides the sessions themselves, is the motivation for further discussions about topics while a coffee break (or depending on the time of the day, a beer). We are looking forward to organize an inspiring, comprehensive and successful weekend, talking about PHP and related Open Source and web technologies on the sunny island of Majorca again.
Start your summer with a short trip to Majorca, enjoy good coffee and shiny weather while discussing PHP related topics with international attendees.
The 3rd year of SunshinePHP in Miami, Florida is shaping up to be awesome once again from February 5th - 7th, 2015. We will have a full day of in-depth 3-hour tutorials on Thursday, followed by the 2 day conference on Friday an Saturday. The conference has something for every level of PHP developer, as well as a hack-a-thon, unscheduled Uncon, fun activities, and of course sunshine. February is the perfect time to be in sunny Miami, Florida but you'll want to hurry because tickets sold out last year.
So when it is cold everywhere else, come down to Florida where it is sunny and warm to enjoy some PHP, learning, community, and fun!
NOTE: Yes, there will be elePHPants!

When we aren't looking for pictures of kittens on the internet, internals developers are nearly always looking for ways to improve PHP, a few developers have a focus on performance.
Over the last year, some research into the possibility of introducing JIT compilation capabilities to PHP has been conducted.
During this research, the realization was made that in order to achieve optimal performance from PHP, some internal API's should be changed.
This necessitated the birth of the phpng branch, initially authored by Dmitry Stogov, Xinchen Hui, and Nikita Popov. This branch does not include JIT capabilities, but rather seeks to solve those problems that prohibit the current, and any future implementation of a JIT capable executor achieving optimal performance by improving memory usage and cleaning up some core API's.
By making these improvements, the phpng branch gives us a considerable performance gain in real world applications, for example a 20% increase in throughput for Wordpress. The door may well now be open for a JIT capable compiler that can perform as we expect, but it's necessary to say that these changes stand strong on their own, without requiring a JIT capable compiler in the future to validate them.
The name "Next Generation" was optimistically presumptuous; in reality phpng is an internal project that we are working on, it is not a production ready branch that anyone should deploy, or judge as they would a release of PHP.
The work on phpng, the doors it opens, the conversations it has started, the collaboration it is inspiring, are all worth getting excited about. But, we need to stay grounded, honest, and open; and say that there is much work to do in order to make the "Next Generation" a reality, this is only the start.

Our schedule is already online and features talks on Redis, Git, HHVM, NGINX, Security, Mocking, PhpSpec 2, Zend Framework 2, Apache Cassandra, JavaScript testing, Docker and much more.
The tutorial day on Thursday 26th June at the same venue gives an opportunity for a smaller number of attendees to spend some time with an expert, going in-depth on particular topics - topics like DDD, Zend Framework 2, Ansible, Apigility, JavaScript Testing, Laravel, Symfony and more are all on offer.
