Re: [UG-ADMINS] Re: ZendCon Panel and Next Steps

Hans,
During our chat at ZendCon, we were talking about how to get new members for
the groups, how to ge local PHPer on the local groups, so Mark Offered the
Zend DB so we could reach all the PHP developers you have stored.

This would mean getting them info on the closes group, or simply getting in
touch with them all.

The nature of this share was not described, and maybe Ramsey has a better
ideia on how it should be.

Should we elect someone to be the Zend representative and talk to them?

As for the Maps:

I'm currently working on this for the Brazilian community, so when it
evolves i would like to take it to php.net. We have been discussing
parameters and metrics to determine if a group is active automatically.
I have incorporated some of the suggestions given here, but i've added a
automatic layer on top of it, so that most of the time no human interaction
will be needed, but we will still have the humam factor for lat case
scenarios, before we pull the plug.
I'll have more news on this as it evolves and will share with you the code
for beta testing also.

Cheers
