Hence our usual location, the HiccUp, has a large reservation, this weeks PHP Usergroup Dortmund meeting will take place at the "Boomerang" in Dortmund down town. This meeting will (because of the lack of wifi and power there) without notebooks. Sure you may bring yours, if you have a special problemor want to show something interesting, but it will not be the usual hacking session.

Anyway, we found Sammies home and had a great time with brunching and baking cookies, together with her husband and Arne from Hamburg. Afterwards we went to the Christmas Market of Hamelin, the town which is famous in Germany for its story about The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It was really a great event and I want to thank Sammy for this! [Read full post…]
