The floor was packed with all the major IT companies (yes, even Microsoft), and the crowd was thick from 10:00-5:00. The UNILUG booth was a buzz of activity, and NYPHP was right in the middle of things. Thanks to all who stopped by today, and especially the staffers behind the booth. And of course a big thanks to Doron Gerstel, CEO, Zend Technologies for fielding questions, and Sterling Hughes for the book raffle. Tomorrow the show continues, and those who didn't get a chance to stop by today are encouraged to do so tomorrow or Friday. If you're interested in staffing the UNILUG/NYPHP booth tomorrow, please contact me at noreply at nyphp.org. I will also be in and around the booth throughout the day and Friday afternoon. Thanks to Michael, Adam and Kayra for pictures. If there are any other pictures out there, let me know and we'll include them in the photo gallery after the expo. Special thanks to UNILUG for reserving the booth and letting NYPHP be a part of it.

It was great meeting all of you, some old, many new. If our booth at LWE is any indication, PHPCon should be fantastic. After a couple of weeks, we plan to get PHPCon planning underway. There's a lot to be done, but I think with the support we've seen so far, there should be no problem, and if anyone wants to lend a hand, there's tons to be done. And of course a big thanks to Daniel, Daniel, Michael, Adam and Fil for helping out with everything over the last couple of days. We have three book raffle winners: -- David Chan -- Peter Lehrer -- Carl Romano We will bring the books to our next meeting, this Tuesday, 1/28/03 at 6:30pm. If you can't make it Tuesday, please let me know, and we can try to work something out.
