We want to network PHP user groups into a tighter community, provide a means to share information and resources among our community members, and aid in the formation of new PHP user groups.
One of this group's projects is a handbook for PHP user groups, complete with information about starting a group, planning meetings, contacting publishing companies for books, looking for sponsorship, etc. This information is drawn from the experiences, successes, and failures of all the user groups in our network, and it needs your help to make it complete.
Since we're dedicated to providing a means for user group organizers to communicate, collaborate, and share, we provide a wiki where this kind of exchange may take place. If you need editing access to the wiki, please let us know on the mailing list.
The community maintains a map of PHP user groups around the world. Add your group to the map at https://php.ug.
The PHP project graciously hosts our mailing list. You may subscribe to the list by sending an e-mail to ug-admins-subscribe@lists.php.net. To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to ug-admins-unsubscribe@lists.php.net. The subject line and body of the message do not matter.
Archives of the mailing list are available at https://news-web.php.net/ug.admins.
Our IRC and Matrix channels are bridged, so you may chat on one or the other (or both).
There is also a Slack-Team for Usergroups for communication within and with other usergroups. Feel free to get an invitation
There are irregular meetups of usergroup-organizers on conferences. Check out what happened there.
