If you are attending ZendCon vicariously through the twitter feed of friends, you probably noticed as I did that Day 1 was dominated by the themes of geek humor and green elePHPants.Reading the tweets from Day 2 however, you will notice that the “conference halo” is over and people are getting down to the real business of learning, networking, and hacking. Here are the main themes I identified.
Lorna Jane Rocked the house
Standing room for @lornajane her #zenduncon talk on Git and Github #zendcon twitter.com/ZendUncon/stat…
— Zend uncon sessions (@ZendUncon) October 24, 2012
Protip: @zendcon, anything that @lornajane submits as a talk should be a talk. #Zendcon
— Nik (@nicktacular) October 24, 2012
Sad that I’m not at #zendcon to see @lornajane speak on #git. Sounds like it’s quite the session.

Had great fun at the openshift hackathon. @weierophinney breaking both git and composer was classic! #zendcon

The music between sessions has apparently gotten better
Mötley Crüe, Judas Priest & Iron Maiden on the speakers between keynotes/sessions.Not bad #zendcon
— Marius Nettum (@MidasKnight) October 24, 2012
Excellent, Daft Punk in the main exhibit hall! #zendcon #daftpunk
— Zachary Burnham (@zburnham) October 24, 2012
…and of course, Green ElePHPants!
Break #zend phpcloud.com, get a green elephpant! #zendcon twitter.com/sqmk/status/26…
— Michael Squires (@sqmk) October 24, 2012
#zendcon protip don’t let your elePHPant sleep in bed. Hyatt housekeeping won’t clean your room!
