Very well presented, very concise.

Really excellent talk, very clear explanations, great examples, deep technical knowledge on tap!

This was a nice light-hearted overview of the PHP community, its history, and the people who make it great.

I do feel like it was geared more towards those who are already involved in the community. For example, while I personally enjoyed the shoutouts, I was already familiar with those folks and understood most of the comments made about them. Newcomers might've had difficulty relating to those folks and some of the comments about them. Perhaps reduce the number of folks you highlight and show a huge mosaic of pictures at the end? That'll prevent the section from dragging while still providing the intended impact.

Nevertheless, I still really enjoyed this keynote, especially the personal anecdotes and history of WurstCon! Jeremy did a great job of blending sincerity with humor while painting an accurate picture of where the community is and how we got here.

I really enjoyed this talk. The concepts were demonstrated live on a cluster of Rasperry Pis (which was awesome!) but they're just as applicable to any other cluster of machines.

I can't wait to get home and do something with my spare Pi boards!

I went into this not knowing anything about Raspberry PI and I left determined to buy one and use it.

For having to speak on such a short timeline, and with little notice this was impressive. I think as a high level overview of alternatives it was a great talk, it will lead to research. I do think if there had been more time we could have dove into the weaknesses in each of the alternatives.

Great talk. Good descriptions of the new features of PHP 7 as well as covering what's being removed.

Nice examples of the same API in 5 different languages. Really shows how similar these different languages are.

This is something I've presented myself, so it was all pretty familiar, but Junade presented it all in a very straightforward way. It was particularly good to see the example of configuring server push.

The description of HPKP wasn't very clear, and in what circumstances it would be useful.

Junade comes across as extremely knowledgable and conveyed the information presented in a very easy to consume manner.
The topic may be seen as mundane, but my interest was piqued throughout the talk.
