On Friday, June 19th 2009, the PHP Barbecue Tour 2009 will visit Dortmund. The idea behind PHP BBQ is to bring PHP usergroups from the seminar room to the grill. We'll have special guests from the PHP/MySQL community attending and will have a great evening with lots of dead animals. If you want to join, don't hesitate, it's free! Just bring your own food and drinks. [Read full post…]

As you will have noticed, when reading this page, I brought my new website online. Although I was quiet satisfied with Serendipity, I decided by May this year, that I wanted to bring up a real website again. Since October 2005 I only maintained my web log and my photo gallery on Flickr, due to missing time and lack of motivation to raise a real website again. Now that changed, with switching to WCV.

The PHP Usergroup Dortmund will again organize PHP @ FrOSCon this year. As usual this happens in cooperation with the PHP Usergroups Köln/Bonn and Hamburg. The Free and Open Source Conference 2008 is going to happen on August 23rd and 24th. Instead of the past 2 years, we'll not only have a dedicated project room. A dedicated PHP @ FrOSCon track will be a part of the FrOSCon main conference program. [Read full post…]
The PHP Unconference 2007 was one of the most amazing events of the past year, head to head with FrOSCon. Therfore I'm pretty much looking forward to the second installment of the conference, which will take place on April 26th and 27th this year. I'm sure that again a large crowd of really nice geeks will attend and I'm especially looking forward to see many good friends there again. While we already traveled there with a good delegation of Dortmund usergroopies last year, it looks like we will be even more this year. Stay tuned for the Ruhrpott invasion, Hamburg! ;) [Read full post…]
When my friend Marcus asked me if I'd like to order ElePHPants with him together to save shipping cost I thought it would be time that our local PHP usergroup gets some new members: The ElePHPant family! After I messed up with our original order in May 2007 (because of too much work with the book and more), I thought it would be nice to give an ElePHPant to the core members as a belated christmas present. See the happy people and their ElePHPant family below: [Read full post…]
