Do you want to present?
We are always looking for people and companies to present their latest ideas to the Group. If you have a PHP application, gizmo or development tool you want to make known then this is the place to do it in Sydney. You’ll find a receptive group willing to learn and ask questions.
Don’t be afraid to present - it’s a great thing to do and can give you all kinds of positive feedback and constructive criticism.
General Requirements for a presentation
- if you are presenting code, target a minimum PHP version of 5.0 (the latest stable release is recommended) - why? PHP4 will cease to exist quite soon
- use a slideshare.net compatible presentation medium so that your presentation can be embedded on our site
- your presentation will be audio-recorded for future podcasting. If you don’t wish to be recorded, please advise prior to the presentation
