The Vancouver PHP Conference 2007 is coming up next week. I think registration is full or close to it. We've got Steven and James giving a couple of talks on Drupal and Identity / OpenID.There is also a (free, as in beer) panel on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) on Monday night . It's open to the public and sponsored by a group called Information and Communications Technology / Open Source Co-op . Never heard of 'em, but they run Drupal, so they can't be all bad :PSome of the topics up for discussion include:Choosing a license GPL3 Common Misperceptions about the GPL Growth in GPL Winning Over New Converts to FOSS Reasons Why Businesses Choose FOSS Current state of FOSS in North America Encouraging the growth of FOSS in Vancouver/N. America Well, there's a selection of things I'm passionate about :P Should be interesting to see how the discussion goes, but I suspect it will be preaching to the converted in many cases.
