Keynote: Economics of Drupal Contribution
Scratch-your-own-itch code contributions from individuals and organizations are essential to the success of any open source project.

Keynote: PHP for Everyone
PHP runs more than 80% of the internet. It's winning because it can do everything. PHP is used as a replacement for Perl scripts, a lightweight template engine, and a dynamic content generator. PHP is a full-featured programming language complete with Object-Oriented code and modern design patterns. From Personal Home page to PHP Hypertext Preprocessor, PHP is for everyone.

When you work as a consultancy, time is literally money; so, it's important to schedule your team so they log enough hours to meet your billable targets. In this session, we will discuss tools and pointers for motivating your remote team and getting the most out of their time.
