In the latest in their series of PHP community interviews, the 7PHP.com talks with Jacques Woodcock one of the leaders in the Nashville PHP community and of the Nashville PHP User Group (see his previous interview for more on that). In this interview they focus on some quotes from Jacques posted on the SouthernAlpha startup Twitter account about giving back to the community.

The ‘level of wisdom’ in them was too strong to be left there, I had to bring it out and I’m thankful to Jacques ‘TheKit’ Guy for sharing with me (and hence you) his precious experience he gained down the years and elaborating more on those quotes.

They go through each of the quotes and let Jacques expand on them a bit - why he got started with the community, some ways that people can get involved in their local group and remembering that a community is made up of more than just single actors.

On 7php.com today they've picked back up with their "community interview" series, talking to members of the PHP community and finding out all about them. In this new interview, they talk to Jacques Woodcock, a member of the Nashville PHP User Group.

In this edition I talked with [Jacques Woodcock @jacques_thekit], who is a leader in the [Nashville PHP User Group @NashvillePHP]. Jacques is also the Founder and President of theKit Portal which is a fully hosted CMS platform built around affordability, usability and customer service. He is someone who is really is motivated by finding solutions for people.

His answers talk about things like:

• How he got started with PHP
• His involvement in the community
• Resources he recommends
• What ecommerce/CMS systems he recommends
• What in his "way of doing" he sees as an advantage
