Re: [UG-ADMINS] Introduce yourself!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jonathan Sundquist (@jsundquist) and I organize the Minnesota
PHP User Group (@mnphp) along with Daniel Post. We have roughly 500
members, however we typically bring in around 40-60 people each month to
our meetings.

For a while I was able to schedule a few months out for speakers but as the
months go on we have found it more difficult to find people speak as the
same people have been speaking for the past few years. We are always
looking for new ways to engage our members and bring new ideas to the table
that they may be interested in.

Sincerely,

Jon
