On the Laravel News site they've posted another in their "Artisan Files" series of community interviews. In this latest post they talk to Pablo Chiappetti, organizer of the Laravel Buenos Aires meetup.

The interview includes questions about Pablo and some of his background as a developer:

• Can you tell us about yourself? How’d you get into web development?
• How did you first find Laravel and what made you start using it?
• You run the Laravel Buenos Aires meetup. Can you tell us about it?
• Can you tell us about your local environment?
• Do you have any hobbies outside of the computer?

Check out the full interview for the answers to these questions and more. If you're in the Buenos Aires area and are looking for a good meetup, be sure to check out the Laravel group.

The SaniSoft group has announced a new event happening in the first part of December 2008 (in Buenos Aires, Argentina) - CakeFest.

Conferences are the forefronts of modern communications, more so when they are related to the FOSS world. Conferences and Open Source Fests are platforms where the developers meet, discuss, share and carry their work forward. [...]

SaniSoft is a sponsor for this year's event. CakeFest is a four day conference that gathers together the CakePHP community for networking and talks from speakers like Nate Abele, Garret Woodworth, Mariano Iglesias and Felix Geisendorfer. You can find out more information (as well as reserve your spot) on the main conference site. The Early Bird pricing of 50% off ends tomorrow, so hurry!
