Re: [UG-ADMINS] HaPHPy Birthday − The Collaborative Movie Celebrating 20 years of PHP

What a cool idea... Consider us (SweetlakePHP) in!
(PR created)

I'll start creating some waves inside the group once the website is up for real. That's the idea, right?

Hello,  

My name is Julien. I am an active member of AFUP <http://afup.org>, the  
French PHP User Group and a long term member of AFUP Lyon. (So please  
excuse my English)  

I am starting a project to celebrate 20 years of PHP and the greatness of  
its community. I try to gather pictures and videos from people and user  
groups who want to show gratitude to the language. Eventually, I'll make a  
short mosaic movie with all the contributions and release it under Creative  
Commons License.  

Quoting the GitHub repository:  

From the 1st of September to the 30th of October, anyone with a GitHub  
account (for now) will be able to upload a very short video or picture  
showing how much s•he loves PHP or its community. Uploaded media can be  
selfies, placards, variation of the PHP acronym (People Helping People),  
group photos, self expression, fun pics… anything imaginable as long as the  
message stays positive.  

Eventually, the provided videos and pictures will be gathered in a short  
mosaic movie released under a Creative Commons Licence.  

You can have a look at the *wip* demo: http://haphpy-birthday.woecifaun.net  
(I added some user groups by myself on demonstration purpose)  

I would like the PHP User Groups to be involved at a high level. I wanted  
to contact the maximum of them by myself. I started to do so when Andreas  
Heigl from the php.ug project gave me the tip of writing on this mailing  
list. It is possible some of you already receive a similar email or Meetup  
message.  

In order to introduce the project and to explain how each user group can  
take part in it, I detailed what can be done to participate on the GitHub  
repo  
<https://github.com/afup/haphpy-birthday/blob/master/docs/php-user-groups.md>  
.  

Quickly:  

- User groups are very welcome to contribute to the commemorative movie  
by providing a picture and their profile through a PR. The picture will  
appear in the commemorative movie and the user group will be listed with  
its logo on the contributions page.  
- User groups can take part in the communication around the project and  
the website by following the @haPHPy20 <https://twitter.com/haPHPy20>  
twitter account and by relaying progress of the project  
- As any other people, user groups can contribute to the overall quality  
of the project and users experience trough issues and PR  


Naturally, you can ask me question and send me feedback about anything  
(related to the project ;-).  

Thank you in advance.
