The Los Angeles PHP Meetup group has a monthly Programmers Schmooze on the second Sunday of each month. Additionally, we have a monthly PHP presentation. If you are a PHP wiz and would like to present to the group, send a note to the organizer.

The official site for this group will be http://laphp.org/... -- we are currently building the actual site, so for now it temporarily redirects to this Meetup group.

This group is organized by Oleg Baranovsky (CTO at Financial Finesse) and Joe Devon (read his blog at MySQL Talk).

We also often partner with other local technology groups, including:

• Los Angeles MySQL Group: http://lamysql.org/... or http://www.meetup.com...
  
• Los Angeles Semantic Web Group: http://www.meetup.com...
  
• Orange County PHP (OCPHP): http://ocphp.org/... or http://www.meetup.com...
  

We want to thank some local tech companies who were providing the venues for us in the past, including the following:

• Mahalo
  
• Coworking Fullerton
  
• Factual
  

If your company would be willing to host us once in a while, please contact the organizers -- help us to build the viable developer community in LA.

Also calling for all the PHP developers -- have anything interesting to present? Any new technology thet you developed or learned or were working with? Step up and do a presentation for the group. Please contact the organizers to schedule.
