RE: [PHP] User Groups Mailing List
http://www.meetup.com is a website that has been around a couple of years at least, and provides lots of organization tips for groups interested in most subject and yes there is a whole series of them oriented around PHP, and I believe another around MySQL. Promote, promote, promote, seems to be the word(s) for the day.

Promote, promote, promote, seems to be the word(s) for the day. I'm actually the organizer for several Meetup groups as well. Tell you the truth, I'm not that hot on Meetup's feature set, site design, or implementation details. EG: As an Organizer, I get *way* too many notification emails, and don't have any kind of fine-grain control, much less the concept that maybe they should put all my stuff into one weekly update for me. Sigh. It's a nice idea, but I don't think they've really sat down and tested it on normal users. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
