Dutch PHP Conference ‘24

It’s official: I will be giving my agile talk to the good people over at the Dutch PHP Conference 2024 in Amsterdam as one of their speakers on Friday.

The Schedule just went live over at https://phpconference.nl/schedule-2024/

The Dutch PHP Conference is an annual web technology conference around PHP technology. The conference is completely in English and is focused on mobile- and web development related to PHP technology. However, it also has two sister conferences: Appdevcon and Webdevcon.

Replanting forests

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 17:00:00 +0200

Recently I gave a talk at the 2022 Re:factor Conference titled “Tools over Processes over People …or not”. In the course of twenty minutes, I highlighted some potential problems, solutions and my personal experiences.

So how does that fit in with replanting forests?

Well, in these turbulent times of economic woes, rising tensions among nations as well as a global problem called climate change, it is always nice to be able to do something. Thanks to the team over at the Re:factor Conference, I was able not only to give a talk on Agile, but at the same time contribute a little something to the environment.

Going to FOSDEM 2010

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:00:00 +0200

Update: yep, I’ll be there. The first session I’m planning to attend is “Evil on the Internet” @ 11:45 on Saturday.

~~At least, that’s my intention. I still need to work out a few kinks but since Wolf CMS 0.6.0 final is planned for January 31st, I should be safe.~~

The FOSDEM conference is entirely free (no registration required) and is held in Brussels, Belgium. If you’ll be there and want to talk about Wolf CMS for example, maybe we can hook up.

See you at JavaPolis 2007

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:00:00 +0200

Another JavaPolis conference will be held from december 10th - 14th in Antwerp, Belgium. Since I heard a lot of good stuff about the last JavaPolis sessions, I’ve decided to take a look.

For a relatively small pricetag of € 410,- for five full days, you get a large number of interesting presentations to attend.

I’ve noted some which I find interesting and will probably attend:

Spring 2.5, an Update
Task-focused programming with Mylyn
OpenJDK BOF, get involved
New Java Language Features
The State of the Java Universe by James Gosling
The Future of Computing panel with James Gosling, Neal Gafter, Joshua Bloch & Martin Odersky
Effective Java Reloaded by Joshua Bloch
And lots more!

For those who are interested, I’ll also be meeting up with VQWiki users during the conference to talk about the up and coming version 3.0 of VQWiki. If you’d like to be there as well, drop a note on the VQWiki wiki about it.
