I've no idea how many people noticed the roof in the main hall at PHPNW11 this year, but it certainly fascinated me.

Watching Rick Ogden heading up to the stage to close the conference, and no doubt hoping that Rick didn't say anything too embarrasing about Jeremy in the process!

The buzz in the room from having this many PHP developers in one place at one time was quite something. Ian Barber, giving the keynote speech, took it all in his stride.

In his first conference keynote, Ian delivered a great talk at #phpnw11 about how we all stand on the shoulders of giants.
It didn't stop him ending up as a speaker slave towards the end of the day (photos to follow ;-)

So Rowan had this laptop ... but no matter how hard he stared at it, it just wasn't going to work with the projector at the conference ...

Personally, I hate the term, as well as the idea. Who in their right mind would want to spend a life in hotel rooms and airport terminals?

I tried to be as unobtrousive as I could, but even standing on the sidelines, some of the audience couldn't help but notice the large lens I was pointing in their direction.

For Track 2, the hotel had converted the three tutorial day rooms into a single room to fit everyone in. The room was so long that they had to put a large TV half-way down the room so everyone at the back could read the slides.

... the audience watches on with growing hilarity as Ben, Lorna and Ian try to get Rowan's PDF slides presenting nicely in OSX's Preview ... only to be thwarted when the remote control for moving from slide to slide doesn't work ...

Right now, everyone is after top development talent, and I love this smart idea that one company had - sending lots of staff to the conference with 'Work For Us' t-shirts :)

... in the end, Rowan press-gangs the conference's keynote speaker into being his Speaker Slave (TM), advancing the slides forward on command throughout the talk.
Many speakers would have been destroyed by the sequence of problems, but Rowan successfully turned them into a great warm-up for what was without doubt the funniest talk all day.
