The Orlando PHP September Meetup

- Venue
- (Exact location not available) , Orlando, US
- Cost
- Free
Location change: we're meeting at 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, or you can call me to let you in: 843-345-3522
This month, we'll hear from Erik Hersman about his Open Source project, Ushahidi, which attempts to crowd-source crisis information. It's written in PHP with Kohana, essentially a PHP5 version of CodeIgniter.
Erik and I originally chatted at FOWA Miami 2009 about OrlandoPHP contributing to the project as a group and giving us a presentation. Between looking for neat stuff in Africa, speaking at TED, and winning grants and stuff, he's hard to pin down. So we're really fortunate that he's a local...! :D
In addiition, we'll be continuing our exercise from July: breaking down Kristian Stoyanov's TASCK project and estimating it with Story Points, per my presentation. This was a lot of fun for everyone, it seemed, and we didn't quite make it through the whole project. More details and a recap will be posted on OrlandoPHP.org shortly.
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! It was great to see Derek Gallo again this month, and we had some new faces, as well. Chris Chubb, , Don Organ, Eric Marden, and Bensan George were still MIA, unfortunately.
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.
