Re: php/db|works 2006 Session Schedule (#139)

I was wondering who I should send my session synopsis information to? I'm doing the "What PHP Can Learn From Rails" talk on the second day.

Can we go to sessions on different tracks? Or do we have to pick a track?

You can to any sessions you like, subject to space availability (but we've gotten pretty good at preventing people from being rasmussed [1], so that's usually not a big problem).

Out of curiosity, what happened to the previously-scheduled "PHP/DB Expo" from 13:30 to 18:00 on Friday?
