Talk comments

A really good inspirational talk. I do hope that after being in this talk more people feel will be able to submit to conferences (or user groups) and hopefully be more successful after having received tips from a previous conference organiser.

One point to improve might be to talk a little bit more about other ways we can share knowledge such as contributing to projects like php bridge, more general community outreach (As was discussed later in the evening), php mentoring, helping people on IRC and the like but obviously it is quite difficult to fit all of that into 20 minutes.

A surprisingly really interesting talk which promoted some interesting (albeit perhaps slightly off-topic) discussion and debate afterwards.

Sean is a confident and friendly guy; but he'd have to be to do what he does. The talk, although short itself, inspired an incredible amount of debate and discussion around how best to recruit and train the next generation of PHP developers. It was really amusing and insightful. I'm glad that Sean decided to talk to us. :)
