Thanks to everybody who came yesterday to our Monthly Meeting, and for your active participation.

And thanks to Dr. Hazem Said for his insightful presentation about IT department at UC! 

1) We need volunteers for our two "community" projects:

a) IT-Clubs in K-12 schools

b) IT Conference in Cincinnati (October-November 2012)

Please email me if you would like to join, so we can start planning.

2) Our next meeting is on February 16th, with the main focus on "PHP in the Cloud", sponsored by Engine Yard 

Please RSVP:

so we know how much Pizza and Soda/Beer we need to order.

3) We need sponsors for the food/drinks for our meetings. We also need prizes to give away!

Please let us know if know any potential sponsors. 

Please join the OINK-PUG (Ohio, Indiana, Northern Kentucky PHP User Group) at our first working meeting of 2012.

In this meeting, we will finalize our 2012 Schedule and Plan of Activities. 

As a speaker, we'll have Dr. Hazem Said, the new Chair of IT Department of University of Cincinnati, who will introduce his Department.

We'll also have a "Swap Exchange": bring old equipment, or unwanted Christmas gifts that you would like to exchange for something else.

As last time, to make it more enjoyable, we'll have FREE pizza and soda/beer :) To know exactly how much pizza and refreshments we need, please RSVP ASAP if you will be attending.

We had a very successful meeting on Nov. 17th, 2011 with several new faces, and some old lost friends. First of all, we would like to tank Karl Wilbur for sponsoring the pizza and refreshment for the meeting! It definitely made the meeting more fun!

We've discussed several ideas about how to make next year a total success, incl. ways to increase the number of participants, and to have more fun together, while learning all the cool things about and around PHP.

Our next meeting will be our annual "Christmas Party" in December - details coming soon!
