I'd like to see who might be interested in a Symfony meetup in SF. If there's enough people, Dogster can host the event in the beautiful Potrero Hill. We'll shoot for having our first event near the beginning of July, around the time of the Symfony training sessions. After that, I'll shoot for monthly or bi-monthly meetings.
If you're interested in this meetup, you should check out the symfony training workshop that starts on June 29th. You can find more info and register here: http://www.sensiolabs.com/en/training/detail/SYMFONY-SANFRANCISCO-JUNE-2009
First, I'd like to gather up peoples' ideas and interests and find an awesome opening night speaker. Then we'll need to get the word out and let people know that Paris is not the only place to find awesome Symfony devs!
So, join this group and let me know what you think!
Here are a few possible topics:
- How to get started with Symfony
- What's new for Symfony 1.3?
- How to build your first Symfony plugin
- How to manage multiple websites and applications with one Symfony install
- Deploying your new Symfony project
- How to use the new Symfony Components outside of Symfony
- I bet you guys can come up with better!
For those that don't know what Symfony is, here's a description from their website:
"Symfony is a full-stack framework, a library of cohesive classes written in PHP.
It provides an architecture, components and tools for developers to build complex web applications faster. Choosing symfony allows you to release your applications earlier, host and scale them without problem, and maintain them over time with no surprise.
Symfony is based on experience. It does not reinvent the wheel: it uses most of the best practices of web development and integrates some great third-party libraries.
Thousands of developers already trust symfony for their applications!
New users join the community every day, and that makes of symfony the most popular PHP framework around. A large community means easy-to-find support, user-contributed documentation, plugins, and free applications."
