phpGG Frontend Special
Jan 07, 2009 @ 21:03:16

The Dutch PHP Usergroup (phpGG) is having a special event at the end of January (on the 24th) - something they're calling the "phpGG Frontend Special".

Here's more from Stefan Koopmanschap's blog entry on the event:

I am quite excited about us organizing this event. This is our first step towards a full-blown conference, and I am proud of the speaker schedule we're putting together. We have speakers from Microsoft and Adobe who will go into their respective frontend and RIA technologies, Boy Baukema - the javascript expert at Ibuildings - will be talking about Javascript, and Robert Jan Verkade will give a take on HTML and CSS technologies. More on the content of the different presentations will follow as well as the actual schedule.

The event is free for active/paying phpGG members and will be 15 Euro for everyone else (for a pre-sale price, after that it's bumped up to 25 Euro). Along with the admission, this also gives you a one year membership in the phpGG.

More information on the event can be found on the phpGG group's website.

Michelangelo van Dam's Blog:
BugHuntDay or fixing bugs for fun
Oct 16, 2008 @ 16:10:09

In a new post to his blog today Michelangelo talks about a joint effort between the Dutch PHP user group phpGG and the PHP Belgium group - BugHuntDay.org.

Fixing bugs is mostly considered the least favorite part of open-source projects, which often delays a good project growing into a great one. And this is a pity, because fixing bugs can really be fun and is very educative.

The Bug Hunt Day is planned for November 8th (2008) for those in the Netherlands. Here's how it'll go:

A typical BugHuntDay is started with a small presentation by a code contributor to that framework or library, followed by a group effort fixing bugs while being assisted by experts. This way attendees learn a bit of the framework or library, the process of fixing bugs and the process of quality assurance (QA).

If you're around the Roosendaal area and want to participate, check out the Bug Hunt Day website and find out how to get involved.
