The Orlando PHP August Meetup
- Date
- 6-7 Aug 2009 (Add to calendar) GMT
- Venue
- (Exact location not available) , Orlando, US
- Cost
- Free
EDIT - Location change! In order to better facilitate the presentations this month and to evaluate the spot for Erik's presentation next month, we're trying out the clubhouse at Camden, downtown, courtesy of our super awesome member, Demetrius Ford (who has excellent taste in avatars, BTW). The address is:
688 N Orange Ave Orlando, FL 32801 (map)
Demetrius says we can park in the parking lot in front of the complex (probably also in the adjacent lot for the China Glass building, says me). The clubhouse is inside the main complex. We'll try to leave someone outside to lead ppl in.
Small adjustment. After talking with Erik, August would work better for him. So expect to hear about Ushahidi at our Aug 8th meeting. He'll give us an overview look at what it is, what it does, and how it's being used. We'll also talk about how we can get involved in helping on this project.
In the meantime, I'll give a brief presentation on Planning Poker, and Kristian Stoyonov will be presenting a project of his own. Afterward, we'll break out Kristian's project into User Stories, break out the Planning Poker cards and do some estimating.
So there's that. I'd like to keep up the "Ask-an-Expert" panel, so for that we need two things. First, bring your questions...! I know you've got 'em. Heck, even I have some stuff to rant about this month! Second, we need our experts to show! We've got a good core group of developers with a lot of experience under their belts, including Chris Chubb, Derek Gallo, Don Organ, Eric Marden, and Bensan George, none of which we've seen for a month or more (for shame!).
Finally, as much as I'd love to talk about Unit Testing again with PHPUnit (we haven't even gotten to the hard stuff yet), I'd really like someone else to give a presentation. Doesn't really matter the subject matter, as long as it's reasonably related to PHP and/or web development. If you don't start volunteering soon, I'll start recruiting (see above)...! O_O Maybe Chris (or someone else who was paying attention) could give a recap from the first few chapters of the PHP5 Cert Traning, or someone could dissect a recent PHP project for us...? Just some thoughts.
Looking forward to a great turn-out this month,
David @ OrlandoPHP.org

The Orlando PHP December Meetup
0km away in Orlando
Thanks to everyone who came out to the October meeting, thanks to Zend for presenting, and thanks to Derek Gallo for filling in for me again while I was out of town at php CodeWorks in Atlanta. If you've never been to a professional conference before, particularly one for PHP, then I highly recommend it: php CodeWorks was a blast and very affordable. Well, that doesn't do you much good, though, does it?

Hi! The last meet-up was great! Let's have another one and keep the momentum going! Topic: Managing Jobs and Productivity! Description: How do you get into 'the zone' and stay there? How do you handle scheduling, client management, distractions, last minute requests, etc. This isn't a code-focussed meeting per say, although I'm sure we'll bust out some source eventually. Extras: [list]*Last week Jayse shared his on-the-fly thumbnail generator.
