The folks heading up the Dutch PHP Conference this year (happening in 5 short days) have posted the complete list of speakers for this year's event including:   Cal Evans - "My First Mashup" Gaylord Aulke - "Zend Framework" Stefan Koopmanschap - "Symfony Framework" Derick Rethans - "Test-driven Development"   Unfortunately, if you haven't gotten your tickets already, you're going to have to wait until next year. According to Ivo Jansch, the conference sold out right before the early-bird deadline came around. With such a great showing from developers and a great lineup of speakers for this year, you can almost guarantee that there'll be a conference next year too - so keep your eyes out for it.
