293     <p>Not just another conference - this year has seen some high-valued
294     conferences (like our IPC Spring Edition in Berlin) and we are already
295     preparing the next big PHP conference. But this year makes a difference.
296     It's the 10th. anniversary of the International PHP Conference. Being in
297     business for ten years, we met some great people, made true fans and
298     encouraged PHP developers all over the world to commit their passion for
299     web-development to a growing community, that is behind some of the most
300     well-known websites today.</p>
301
302     <p>Of course, a great event is nothing without great developers and we are very
303     happy to welcome the PHP community to our next International PHP Conference
304     2010! Again, this conference is packed with workshops, sessions and keynotes
305     on some of the most trending topics in PHP and web development today. Wether
306     you are the developer dealing with core PHP features, the project lead that
307     is in continuous integration or the CTO looking for professional solutions,
308     this conference is the place to be. Not because of our 10 years of
309     experience in bringing together some of the most experienced heads in PHP
310     development - but because of this conference being one of Europe's leading
311     technology events that have been made possible by a really passionate
312     community. And that is ... by you.</p>

325    PHP North West is a PHP conference with a regional focus, bringing the best
326    of PHP speakers to the north-west of England on Saturday 9th October. A
327    full day of conference speakers over at least two tracks this should again
328    prove to be one of the best events for PHP user-led conferences in Europe.
329    We're also, as last year, having an informal half day of speakers on Sunday
330    10th October, at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) nearby. With a
331    weekend packed with all things PHP and a ticket price to suit business and
332    hobbyists alike there are no reasons to miss out - see you in Manchester :)

360     to upgrade to this release.

507        PHP is proud to announce TestFest 2010. TestFest is PHP's annual campaign
508        to increase the overall code coverage of PHP through PHPT tests. During
509        TestFest, PHP User Groups and individuals around the world organize local
510        events where new tests are written and new contributors are introduced to
511        PHP's testing suite.
512      </p>
513      <p>
514        Last year was very successful with 887 tests submitted and a code coverage
515        increase of 2.5%. This year we hope to do better.
516      </p>
517      <p>
518        TestFest's own SVN repository and reporting tools are back online for this
519        year's event. New to TestFest this year are automated test environment build
520        tools as well as screencasts showing those build tools in action.
521      </p>
522      <p>
