Marcus from php|architect got a chance to talk a bit with Zak Greant (from eZ Systems) about the "unconference" he's been organizing in Normay, the PHP Vikinger.

They discuss where the name came from, why they chose the "unconference" route, and what's expected of it.

Sebastian Bergmann has more information posted on his blog about the upcoming PHP Vikinger Conference to be held in Norway.

The conference also seeks to be more affordable that some others out there, only costing 20 Euros to attend (as well as simple food/place to sleep). You can get complete details on the conference's main site. (Open registration will open in about a week or so, according to Zak Greant)

On Polymorph, Zak Greant's blog, today there's a brief post mentioing the official site for a new conference in Norway - PHPVikinger.org.

The conference will be happening in Skein, Norway from June 24th through 25th and will follow the "unconference" mentality - allowing the attendees to set the agend for the event. Rooms for the conference and amenities will be provided (including wireless internet), and space will be provided for attendees to stay (space at a local school) as well as simple meals.

Registration for the event will cost 20 Euros, and all of the money raised will go to various "free culture, free information, and free software groups".
