Re: [UG-ADMINS] User Groups and php.net visability

Everything mentioned thus far in the thread has been positive and I 
concur that a more formal relationship between PHP.net and PHP UG would 
be welcomed. I like Rich's addition for trying to also bring additional 
awareness to joind.in. I think it'd be a great addition to joind.in for 
maintaining speaker bios and we could pull in speaker bios/info from 
there. I'll admit I've been a bit lax on putting up my local meetup 
presentations on there these passed few years, so this would be a good 
kick in the pants.

I think a great starter would be to create a github organization for 
PHPUG and follow up by inviting this mailing list at large so we can 
collaborate on projects. If need be, we could pool funds via WePay or 
equivalent to support a paid github account for private repositories. A 
bronze plan runs $25/mo for 10 private repos. I just created the github 
organization PHPUG and started an open Google Spreadsheet for everybody 
to enter their [email protected] email address, name, joind.in 
url, github username, and contact information. If there's already 
something like this out there, someone please chime in to share it. If 
not, here's the URL to enter your information. I'll get you added to the 
github organization with full privileges. If you feel the list is 
missing any useful information, please feel free to add.
