What is Laravel SA

Hey there Cape Town PHPeople. It's time for another meetup, and this month we'll be chatting with the folks behind the newly conceived Laravel South Africa.

Laravel South Africa is a community organization focused on education, inspiration and opportunity for developers using the Laravel PHP framework.

Our mission is to advance the reach of Laravel in South Africa, equipping developers to take advantage of everything the ecosystem has to offer.

But who is behind Laravel South Africa?

Wogan May is a web developer, cloud systems architect and occasional writer based in Somerset West, South Africa. By day, he runs a remote-first software development company focused on Laravel-based business systems.

John Roux is a Lead Developer turned freelancer, currently focusing on Laravel / Systems Architect / AWS DevOps / CTO style freelancer roles. He is actively involved in youth development and mentoring junior developers.

Join us, as we meet the Wogan and John, find out how this idea came to be, why this initiative is so important in a South African context, and what their goals are.

We'll be streaming the discussion to our YouTube Channel, and will post the direct stream link closer to the event.
