Any carrot I can offer to agnostic PHP developers is a win. Being able to teach those developers how to quickly get started with Drupal projects is a huge win.

Whether this is an accepted talk or not, I'm looking forward to here about this first hand. I hope that it is an topic so that as many people can learn about this as possible.

Thanks @cosmicdreams even if my session is no accepted I do have plans to keep spreading the word about this project and receive feedback in order to make this a more solid tool.

Plan B will be a BOF session.
