The PHP UK Conference 2010 is powered by PHP London, now a limited company of the UK. Its board of directors is made up of members of the executive committee, and their roles in the organisation of the event are an extension to their normal duties for the organisation.

Scott MacVicar

Scott MacVicar

Scott has contributed various extensions and improvements to the PHP core over the past few years. If something is wrong with fileinfo, JSON or SQLite3, it’s likely something he did. Currently he works for Facebook on anything Open Source related, most recently HipHop for PHP.

Scott spoke at the 2008 and 2009 PHP UK conferences and while travelling to others all over the place, he is currently president of PHP London. His main role in organising the conference has been picking the speakers and running the main auditorium on the day.
