Salah (aka visualmind) have recently notified me about the PHP Developers Day Indonesia that will be held in Jakarta on Thursday, June 19th, 2008. The new is in the poster where you can read in the bottom the list of Organizers that include : Zend and Microsoft ?! I didn't find any official announcement at Zend or Microsoft Indonesia showing that they organize officially the PHP Developers Day 2008 in Indonesia, but anyway there is only two names from Microsoft shown in the poster Irving Hutagalung and Risman Adnan, but nobody from Zend. More information could be found at http://php-id.org.

The Open Source Developers' Conference 2008 is a conference run by open source developers, for developers and business people. It covers numerous programming languages across a range of operating systems, and related topics such as business processes, licensing, and strategy. Talks vary from introductory pieces through to the deeply technical. This year, the conference will be in Sydney during the first week of December (1st - 5th) and the venue for the event will be announced soon.

With three developer talks on at any time, spanning over the three days of the main conference, and the tutorials on the days before the main conference, there is bound to be something of interest to any developer. Check http://osdc.com.au/2008/papers/cfp.html for more details.
