The Paris Brief

Spent from December 7th until 14th in Paris.
Attended the AFUP Forum PHP.
Provided opening keynote for event. (Slides here.)
Well-attended, well-run event.
500 people over two days.
Some excellent sessions – including a security session by Damien Seguy that needed to be given twice to meet demand.
Small exhibition hall with a mix of local (like Anaska) and international (like Oracle) exhibitors
Caught up with friends and colleagues. (Damien Seguy of Nexen, David Sklar of Ning, Laura Thomson of Mozilla, Lukas Smith of LIIP, Perrick Penet of AFUP and No Parking, Roland Benedetti of eZ Systems)
Made new friends. (Kuassi Mensah and Akky Akimoto)
Missed part of event due to Mozilla obligations and fatigue, sadly including the community events after the Forum.
Many thanks to the AFUP team for inviting me and sponsoring much of the trip!
After the event, I worked from Mozilla offices in Paris.
Caught up with Tristan Nitot before he went on Christmas holidays.
Worked with William Quiviger, as our roles at Mozilla have a good deal in common and our skills are complementary.
