Happy New Year, PHP Israel Users Group!
As some of you might know, the beginning of year 5768 of the Hebrew calendar is being celebrated in Israel these days - and for the new year, me and some friends decided to try and organize PHP-Israel - a local PHP users group in our land of milk and honey (or was itblood sweat and tears?).
So now we have php-israel.org (sorry folks, it’s all in Hebrew). It’s been around for less than 2 weeks and we already have ~40 or so subscribers to the mailing list - quite allot are Zenders but the majority are not, which is good. We also have some traffic - people are designing a logo and talking about a first meeting.
I’ve always thought there’s no PHP community in Israel - now I know there isn’t one because nobody tried to organize the quite numerous individual PHPers into a community. Hopefully, by next year, we will have a thriving local community of PHP users, spreading the word of the free web in Israel.
Shana Tova, PHP Israel!
