Drawing Speaker Order Straws

Here’s the PHP code:

<?php

$speakers = array("Katie Cousins",
                  "Paul Lopes",
                  "Aaron Stavert",
                  "Valerie Bang-Jensen",
                  "Rob Paterson",
                  "Peter Rukavina",
                  "Frances Gertsch",
                  "Bruce MacNaughton");
                 
shuffle($speakers);

print_r($speakers);

?>

And here’s the Pecha Kucha speaker order that resulted:

Array
(
    [0] => Bruce MacNaughton
    [1] => Rob Paterson
    [2] => Katie Cousins
    [3] => Valerie Bang-Jensen
    [4] => Paul Lopes
    [5] => Frances Gertsch
    [6] => Aaron Stavert
    [7] => Peter Rukavina
)
