Great speaker, very informative.
Wow, definitely looking forward to how the Object Freezer progresses.
Very informative.
A bit dry, but definitely helped. I'm now a ZCE.

I decided at the last minute to visit this session rather than the one I'd originally planned on--I'm fairly glad I did. Daniel went a little fast for me, and it was a bit too cursory of a look at Phing, but overall it was decent. If nothing else, it was nice to see someone from the higher-ed world giving a talk! (I've spent my entire career in academia.)
I don't like standing and singing, but good otherwise.
Brilliant talk. I'd been in one of Cal's summer Webinar sessions, and he's even better in person (although I'd suggest getting rid of that photo, Cal--it makes you look like a thug!). This was a brilliant talk, and one of the few in which I took only a few lines of notes...it made more sense to simply pay attention, soak up the info, and read the Gang of Four later on.
I'd love to see a longer session, perhaps a tutorial, next time 'round.
Sadly not at all what I was expecting--I don't know if that was my fault or Nate's. He seemed to be talking only to the people he knew in the room, not to the rest of us...it made it so I didn't even bother asking my question. Since my group uses CakePHP so heavily, I was looking forward to this one, but instead it left me with a sour taste in my mouth.
Next time, I'd suggest taking a different approach: perhaps give something for everyone, rather than only those really hard-core CakePHP-using friends of yours. In the entire hour, I got perhaps two things out of it...not terribly useful.
Best talk of the conference.
