PHP Israel: First meeting
Yesterday we had the first meeting of the newly founded Israeli group of PHP users, or “Kvutzat Mishtamshey PHP Beysra’el” as one might say.
The meeting was held at Zend offices, and there was a pretty good turnover - ~20 non-Zenders showed up with ~10 more Zenders joining in. I gave a presentation (slides are in Hebrew but you can get them here if you read that funny language) about the past, present and future of PHP. There was also a trivia quiz (yes, I stole some ideas from a PHP Norge meeting I attended some months back) and we gave a book and a couple of T-Shirts (and a PHP stress ball) to the winners.
Boaz took some pretty good pictures as well.
It was lots of fun and good socializing which was exactly what I hoped for. The general idea is to have a meeting once a month or so - hopefully, next time I will be sitting and asking questions and not presenting.
Thanks everyone for coming, and if you happen to be in Israel, and do PHP - you should come as well!
