This month, we're trying something new: lightning talks! If you have an interesting PHP-related topic you'd like to share with the group in a 5-10-minute presentation, now's your chance. Fill out the sign-up form, and we'll email you a link to join the event 15-20 minutes beforehand. We'll bring up each speaker one at a time to give their talk. Remember, we value contributions from everyone in the community, so don't hesitate to share your knowledge!

Here are some ideas:

• What's new with JavaScript
• Alternative PHP runtimes
• An update on PHP internals
• Security
• New testing strategies
• Something related to APIs
• That side project you've been putting off

Depending on the number of lightning talks, we also plan to have a panel discussion. This won't be your typical panel discussion-we'll watch a YouTube video together and share our reactions. It'll be a fun and interactive experience, similar to the reaction videos you see on YouTube. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn, share, and engage with the MergePHP community! 🌩️⚡🗣️
