Re: [UG-ADMINS] Re: PHP User Group help

Brian - Yes to echo Cal's advice join the mailing list. Thomas Rideout (@realrideout on twitter) is a co-host of mine on PHPUgly. He lives in Colorado Springs and will be very excited to hear this and I am sure would be more than willing to do a talk or to. Thomas helped me run San Diego PHP and San Diego Laravel User Groups before moving. I won't over commit him but he might be a great resource. I will ping him. Let me know if you start up a Meetup Page or something we can start pointing people to. -- Eric Van Johnson CTO > DiegoDev Group, LLC phone: (858) 451-4556 ext. 404 skype: ericvanjohnson web: www.diegodev.com *No trees were killed in sending this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced*.
