Martijn van Welie has a nice collection of Web Design patterns with examples.

John Lim – Are There Enough Bodies to Satisfy PHP’s Love Affair: „I’m not aware of any popular SQL Server, Oracle or DB2 web framework for PHP. There are probably a few such beasts developed in-house, but not freely available. […] I don’t think that the Web’s love affair with PHP is over, but I…

Bryan Cantrill – DTrace and PHP: „Tonight during our OpenSolaris BOF at OSCON, PHP core developer Wez Furlong was busy adding a DTrace provider to PHP. After a little bit of work (and a little bit of debugging), we got it working — and damn is it cool.“

Robert Kaye – OSCON Day 0: Scalable Internet Architectures: „One of my favorite presentations from last year was Theo Schlossnagel’s presentation on Whack-a-mole, so when I saw him giving a full tutorial on scalability this year, I had to go and check it out.
