Dutch PHP Conference 2015
25 - 27 Jun 2015 at RAI Amsterdam

This is a new level of keynoting which I enjoy.

We've seen our fair share of inspirational speakers over the years (which I always enjoyed). Jordi is a different breed of speaker: no nonsense, to the point, a healthy dose of humor and sarcasm. But the humor and sarcasm never went to extreme levels and throughout the talk it was balanced by very nuanced statements.

A very well balanced talk about life in the OSS trenches. In the past I didn't see "keynote material" in Jordi, but the experience and the years have shaped him. Jordi has become an expert, he has seen some good stuff and bad stuff and DEFINITELY has a right to stand there on stage doing a keynote.

Congratulations, enjoyed it a lot!

Ben is a very experienced and knowledgeable speaker. I always enjoy watching him present.

Unfortunately, the talk didn't really meet my expectations. The RFC bit got boring after a while. It'd be better to trim that a bit in the future. I was also hoping to learn more about additional features of HTTP2.

But that being said: Ben definitely got his point across and he definitely showed us about the connection multiplexing and a better use of TCP.

But surely HTTP2 brings more to the table than just that ... I'd definitely like to see this talk again, but maybe with some improvements.

Good talk, good (experienced) speaker. Worth a 5-star rating.

I would appreciate more advanced details in this talk, it was a bit superficial. But for novice users, this was probably a great introduction into scalable PHP stacks.

I got a good overview of the ELK stack within 45 minutes.
The demo was well prepared and you timed everything perfectly.

5-stars, well deserved. I know Erika is an expert, but the reason why I give this talk a 5-star rating is because the delivery of the presentation was really good.

In past presentations the level English was a bit questionable, but now I noticed that Erika's English has improved a lot.

Good job! Would love to see variations of this talk that cover specific subjects in-depth.

Knowledgeable and talented speakers, interesting message, but a chaotic display!

when you get a speaking slot at an event like DPC, one would expect way better presentation and coordination. Especially with 2 speakers, which complicates things more.

I wouldn't say this is a bad talk, it has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. This talk could be turned into a 5-star presentation, but that will require more discipline from both speakers.

And finally: I was impressed with the expertise and the speaking style of Marc.

That being said: I'd definitely check this guys out again, but only when they've done a better job preparing the talk.

I'm forced to give this presentation a 3-star rating, sorry about that guys!

I think it is very good that this topic is being treated, and I liked the calm presentation style, Lego animations and pragmatic advice. The bit on UML and drawing tools, though promised to keep it short, was probably still a bit too long. I would have rather liked some practical example of adapting design/drawings to changing requirements.

Insightful and entertaining.

Not what I was expecting at all (see other comments) and did not learn anything.
