A quick Group history
meetup
Sydney PHP Group started in 2003 with a few Sydney based PHP developers finally getting together over coffee after coming across php.meetup.com and has steadily grown from there
sydney.ug.php.net
Having outgrown meetup and with increased interest in the group, 2004 saw a move to a new domain under the ug.php.net banner.
The Group gained a forum and started the current format of monthly meetings with up to 2 presentations and networking.
sydphp.org
The site has just undergone its 3rd major redesign including installation of a blog and upgrades to our forum software. We now have a foundation to build a place where Sydney PHP developers can stretch their legs, get known and contribute to PHP knowledge, development and work in the Sydney region.
The future of the Group
Provided we have enough interested members, the Group will continue to motor along. We’re always looking for more interested people to help out and you only have to give as much time as you can spare.
Recent meetings have seen discussions on a possible PHP/OSS conference in Sydney either separate to or in association with other open source software groups in Sydney.
