When: Monday April 14 - Tuesday April 15th 2008

Where: Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre (VCEC), 999 Canada  
Place.

What: A conference showcasing open source technologies, communities  
and culture. We are featuring talks from all areas of open source  
technologies such as PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, XUL, GPL, Linux,  
Django, Drupal, HTML, CSS, Javascript and AJAX, XML, Apache, MySQL,  
Web 2.0, etc.

Our format delivers an extremely affordable alternative in comparison  
to other major conferences. Our community based, volunteer run events  
in the past have sold-out, attracting audiences from all over the  
world, and have featured the biggest names in PHP and related topics  
and technologies.

VCEC is the largest conference facility in downtown Vancouver, located  
in the spectacular inner harbour.

The conference will open with a ‘keynote’ session featuring Tim B.,  
Sun Microsystems, Co-Inventor of XML, and Zak Greant of Mozilla  
Foundation and Foo Associates.

conference, there will be time allocated for attendees to give short  
talks on topics of interest in a ‘Lightning Talk’ format.

The Open Web is a presentation of the Vancouver PHP Users Association,  
a registered non-profit association for the advancement of PHP and the  
Open Web.
