I think Corey made an honest mistake here, I got a few emails but it didn't bother me. All seems to be good now, glad everyone has made up :-) no hard feelings here, that's for sure.
Also, massive thanks to Elizabeth for popping in especially and letting us know that feedback about this mishap will be passed to the appropriate people, and also thanks for the upgrade! As others have said, let's not let this distract from our ultimate goal - to improve visibility, findability and openness of our local PHP communities... Echoing the question Ben Ramsey asked earlier, what is the point of the forks? The https://wiki.php.net/usergroups could do with a load more information really, as well as the little paragraph on http://www.php.net/support.php. I'm going to have a look into what I could help with. As we only started PHP Hampshire recently, the teething difficulties are still fresh in my mind (and some still ongoing!) so hopefully I can contribute something useful, even if it's just a fresh perspective. Cheers James So, for those who don't know me, I used to run OINK-PUG (Ohio, Indiana, Northern Kentucky PHP Users Group), and I also work on the Community Team of GitHub. :) First, I can take care of passing along the feedback about the organization notifications to our developers, and thanks for bringing that up! Second, we've provided the PHPLeaders organization with a free Bronze account, so no need to worry about finding the funds to cover that. Let me know if there's anything else we can do to help! -Elizabeth On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 1:47 PM, Tim Lytle <[email protected]> wrote: > Seems like I missed most of the fun here, but I'm definitly a fan of more > visibly linking user groups to php.net (I think I got us listed as an > event > once, but since it wouldn't pull from Meetup, I just didn't get around to > it again). > > Integration with meetup would be a big plus (happy to help there, as I have > a few hacks that mangle Trello / Meetup / etc for our local general tech > group). > > Joind.in sounds good too, although I've only put one or two meetups there. > For some reason the approval / admin process just feels like it's for > conferences, and I feel silly doing it for our monthly meetup (just a > perception issue probably).
