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

I’ll second the lack of hard feelings, if anything I would say “flattery will get you everywhere” as well as “how far has the community fallen when I get included on a list of leaders”

It’s also partly githubs fault for being so aggressive about notifications and not requiring confirmation from group members.

As to avoid confusion, I've spun the PHPLeaders group as one which active PHP community leaders are members. The membership is not restricted to UG organizers, but is open to figures in the community that have been noticed as going out of their way to promote PHP. The purpose of the PHPLeaders group itself is to strengthen the ties among thought leaders and bring awareness to web-facing PHP community projects and initiatives. The goal is to increase participation/contributions to projects and issues deemed notable by leaders which would most greatly have a positive impact on the PHP community. Andreas' PHP.ug website is on the list as a notable project that needs help and for users to step in, for instance, so it's forked within the PHPLeaders organization for visibility.

Thanks, Corey. Sorry for the backlash. I don't think there will be any ill feelings. It was just a shock/surprise to folks who weren't aware about what was going on.
