IMPORTANT! Contrary to what was said on this episode, we are still going to be doing our live episode streaming from Londonvasion as planned.

This episode, however, did not go according to plan, due to the fact that the team members had an important presentation to be at that conflicted with this live episode, and the London hotel that they were staying at had a miserably poor internet connection. (The hotel has promised that there will be a much, much better connection at Londonvasion, according to an e-mail David sent awhile after this episode ended.) So Douglas, left by himself, tried to fill for time by discussing some of the team member photos from Londonvasion and covering what will be discussed at Londonvasion based on the finalized schedule.

In addition, voting in the phpBBHacks.com Idol has begun, and Douglas explains how the voting will work and who is up against who. Go help determine who will win all of the fabulous prizes and their own library of books (not to mention the ever-important bragging rights)!

Finally, on the request of the ever-helpful chat room on TalkShoe, Douglas summarizes the latest MOD team post on the blog concerning MOD author feedback and how they handle it.

The MOD of the Week is Advanced Meta Tags by Drugs, and the Style of the Week is Getaway by CyberAlien.

I’m very excited to announce the beginning of a brand new blog focusing exclusively on the upcoming Londonvasion conference: it’s called Londonvasion Central, which is being run as a short-term sister site to phpBB Weekly. Dubbed the unofficial home of complete Londonvasion coverage, Londonvasion Central will include comprehensive Londonvasion news, spotlights on what will be happening at Londonvasion, live blogging from the event as it takes place, and complete collections of Londonvasion photos, audio recordings, and video from the event.

David and I are getting ready to kick into high gear for the beginning of Londonvasion, which is now only a week and a half away. While our next few episodes of phpBB Weekly will be doing full coverage of the event, I hope you’ll check out Londonvasion Central for more big news from Londonvasion in between our episodes and as it all happens.

Enjoy! Londonvasion (and the wrath of BertieZilla) awaits!
