Re: [UG-ADMINS] php[world] Call for Papers

Josh - Funny thing is that we've done this before actually.   Granted
not in an organized 'working together' since.  But it's happened.

For example last year, php[tek] and CMS Expo were both in Chicago during
the same week.  And we had a few sponsors/speakers who were involved
with both, and we worked together to share costs.

We also last year happened to have DrupalCon in Seattle, just right
before (or was it right after) php[tek] - And there were a number
speakers who we worked out some deals, international speakers, who were
brought in by one conference, and flown domestically and then home from
another.

Chris Hartjes and I have already had similar thoughts/discussion about
True North and php[world] very possibly having that same possibility.  
Where for some speakers perhaps, Chris might cover their flight to True
North, and we cover their flight from True North to DC, and then home.

(This of course assumes that there will be speakers who each True North
and php[world] will both want, etc etc)  But it's certainly a
possibility we will be exploring.
