Talk comments

Presentation style was good; dynamic and with lots of audience interaction.
I had heard DI talks before and this one did not offer that much more information on that subject. The DataMapper part was more interesting and inspires me to research more on this matter.

Rob Allen gave us a good and interesting overview of the main ZF2 goals!
Although I did a little research about Zend Framework 2 before DPC11, i've heard some new things! Rob is an experienced speaker and has a pretty good sense of humor!
You invited us to rebuild our sites based on ZF2. Well, maybe we will invite you (Rob) for the launch (and Bug Hunt day ;-))!

Expected a lot more from this speaker and subject.
Sebastian seemed to be a bit bored having to do this talk, which - in my humble opinion as a non speaker - could have been made more enjoyable very easy. It can be made a lot of fun to confront people with mistakes they're making on a regular basis. It came across as Sebastian was thinking "I'm just giving this talk because a lot of people asked me this question. Why do I even need to tell you guys these things that you all already should know anyway?"

Also just mentioning the topics in your sheet without any content and just nice pictures makes the talk even more boring. If you so clearly read from your laptop, at least allow us to read with you. Complex, but - I assume as I did not follow - beautiful and meaningful, phrases came from there, but I think they would have come across better when also put on screen.

Also, at the very least, a differentiation should have been made in widely accepted best practices and opinions, which I think for example was the remark about not needing comments inside methods. Though it did start me thinking.

So subject and contents probably ok, but the presentation was boring.

Was interesting to see how easy it apparently is to package a debian package. Pear was touched but what I missed was that a con of PEAR packaging is that i can be quite complex when you do not read up on it on forehand.
I had trouble getting a good view of Maven; perhaps a little too abstract for me to follow?

Good and interesting talk! Beside that it's nice to get a quick behind the scenes at facebook!

Good talk and very interesting! A quick overview in the possibilities and nevermind the demo wasn't working. The concept was clear.

I love the energy and humor (or the lack of it ;-)) of Cal!

How wrong was I, thinking Google maps/Earth was the only serious player. I knew geonames, but openstreetmaps is completely new to me. What a surprise for a cartographic enthousiast like me who has plotted out every trip made in Google Earth!
Nice talk as always from Derick.

I did miss something. Because the description said it would also be about storing and querying geodata I hoped to have heard techniques in doing that. Stored functions and procedures I can think of myself, but what if I need to store thousands of points myself and want to be able to quickly query them for the ones that are closest, order them by distance, query them by a polygon, stuff like that. Will be mailing about this.

It shows that David knows what he is talking about; he gave a good impression of the new challenges involved with IPv6 and PHP. I was only missing a reference to the inet_pton and inet_ntop functions.

Great talk, too bad the timeslot was too short.
The next time I would like too see more coverage on the drawbacks and problems that can arise when starting to implement TDD.

Agree with relaxnownl, Q&A would be a welcome addition.

Poor english pronunciation made it hard to follow. Creating a drawing during a talk should never be done with a room this large and a professional conference like this. Doctrine did not come across, I think it maybe should have been mentioned but the doctrine example was not clear without a code example next to it.
I did however learn some stuff from this talk.
