RE: [PHP] User Groups Mailing List

http://www.meetup.com is a website that has been around a couple of years at least, and provides lots of organization tips for groups interested in most subject and yes there is a whole series of them oriented around PHP, and I believe another around MySQL. Promote, promote, promote, seems to be the word(s) for the day.
