NYCPHP Meetup

[Hans C. Kaspersetz]

Both talks would be very cool....  Chris, I would prefer the testing 
discussion.  Are you talking about security testing or general testing, 
like the use of test suites to perform regression testing, ect?  I would 
prefer the later.  Seems like an issue that comes up once a year and 
deserves that attention.
