    In Portuguese:

    Devido a desentendimentos com a empresa organizadora, inúmeros membros de grupos de usuários de PHP do Brasil não apoiam mais o evento anteriormente conhecido por PHP Conference Brasil.

    Em vez disso, essas pessoas se organizaram independentemente e criaram um novo evento para promover o PHP devidamente no Brasil chamado CONAPHP - Congresso Nacional de PHP. Este evento vai decorrer em São Paulo em 18 e 19 de Outubro dentro de um evento maior de software livre CONISLI 2008. São esperados pelo menos 1500 congressistas.

    O CONAPHP vai contar com palestrantes internacionais reputados como Andrei Zmievski (Smarty, PHP-GTK, PHP 6 Unicode) e César Rodas (PHP Programming Innovation Award 2007, Google Summer of Code, WordPress), e Manuel Lemos (PHPClasses) para além dos habituais nomes da cena de PHP Brasileira.

    Já se espera que o CONAPHP será mais um evento de PHP bastante concorrido. Se você estiver interessado em participar como congressista, vá já inscrever-se para aproveitar o preço baixo de inscrição. Os interessados em palestrar também devem já propôr as suas palestras no site do evento antes que termine o prazo.

These initiatives are announced here just for the information of the PHP Classes site users. These announcements are not sponsored by the organization of the initiatives.

If you take part of the organization of a global or regional initiative that may be of the interest of the PHP Classes site users, feel free to contact this site so your initiative may also be announced here at no expense to your initiative organization.
