      <p>The 4th PHPucEU is taking place on May 9th and 10th on the wonderful island of Majorca, Spain.</p>
      <p>
        For the 3rd PHP Unconference Europe in 2014 about 100 attendees came to
        Spain and joined a bunch of different sessions. Our mission is to bring
        together an international group with knowledge of PHP. In order to address
        as wide an audience as possible, the language of all sessions, presentations
        and round table discussions will be English.
      </p>
      <p>
        One of the key aspects of an unconference, besides the sessions themselves,
        is the motivation for further discussions about topics while a coffee break
        (or depending on the time of the day, a beer). We are looking forward to
        organize an inspiring, comprehensive and successful weekend, talking about
        PHP and related Open Source and web technologies on the sunny island
        of Majorca again.
      </p>
      <p>
        Start your summer with a short trip to Majorca, enjoy good coffee and shiny
        weather while discussing PHP related topics with international attendees.

     <p>When we aren't looking for pictures of kittens on the internet, internals developers are nearly always looking for ways to improve PHP, a few developers have a focus on performance.</p>
     <p>Over the last year, some research into the possibility of introducing JIT compilation capabilities to PHP has been conducted.</p>
     <p>During this research, the realization was made that in order to achieve optimal performance from PHP, some internal API's should be changed.</p>
     <p>This necessitated the birth of the phpng branch, initially authored by Dmitry Stogov, Xinchen Hui, and Nikita Popov. This branch does not include JIT capabilities, but rather seeks to solve those problems that prohibit the current, and any future implementation of a JIT capable executor achieving optimal performance by improving memory usage and cleaning up some core API's.</p>
     <p>By making these improvements, the phpng branch gives us a considerable performance gain in real world applications, for example a 20% increase in throughput for Wordpress. The door may well now be open for a JIT capable compiler that can perform as we expect, but it's necessary to say that these changes stand strong on their own, without requiring a JIT capable compiler in the future to validate them.</p>
     <p>The name "Next Generation" was optimistically presumptuous; in reality phpng is an internal project that we are working on, it is not a production ready branch that anyone should deploy, or judge as they would a release of PHP.</p>
     <p>The work on phpng, the doors it opens, the conversations it has started, the collaboration it is inspiring, are all worth getting excited about. But, we need to stay grounded, honest, and open; and say that there is much work to do in order to make the "Next Generation" a reality, this is only the start.</p>

     DPC brings together the best speakers and PHP talent from Europe and beyond
     for three days of high-level technical sessions. Our
     <a href="http://www.phpconference.nl/schedule">schedule</a> is already online and

     Framework 2, Apache Cassandra, JavaScript testing, Docker and much more.
     </p>

     <p>
     The tutorial day on Thursday 26th June at the same venue gives an opportunity for a
     smaller number of attendees to spend some time with an expert, going in-depth on
     particular topics - topics like DDD, Zend Framework 2, Ansible, Apigility, JavaScript
     Testing, Laravel, Symfony and more are all on offer.
     </p>

     <p>
     So come along to our two main conference days on 27th and 28th June and our
