With 2008 winding down, we need to start thinking about the 2009 calendar. I'd like to suggest we focus on PHP/OSS best practices in a production environment. Some ideas might look like:

• UAT best practices - Test Driven Development (PHPunit, etc.) and continuous integration
  
• PHP Training (beginner, intermediate) and coding standards
  
• Design patterns
  
• Source control in action (Subversion, Mantis, etc.)
  
• High traffic PHP part II
  
• PHP IDE bake-off
  
• Security lock-down (PHP on Apache, IIS)
  
• SOA and Open Source
