Cross Meetup Madness with Caleb Porzio

It's been a while and I've been missing in action, but since we're all living up these crazy times, this is a great way to get together international cross-meetup style with a bunch of Developers to listen to our very own Caleb Porzio.

We'll see about organizing something online just for us as well, but this opportunity came first.

[From the GTA-PHP Meetup]

I am thrilled to announce that a joint virtual meet-up of four (count 'em!) PHP groups will occur on Wednesday April 29th.

• GTA PHP
• York Region PHP
• Guelph PHP User Group
• Full Stack Buffalo

We are also inviting Ottawa PHP and Laravel Toronto.

We are using Google Meet (formerly Google Hangouts). We are using the up-to-250-attendee version. We anticipate being comfortably below 250, but we anticipate (hope) a broader participation.

Although at this moment in time we are faced with hosting virtual meet-ups or having no meet-ups at all, we want to learn from this opportunity to host a joint meet-up so that perhaps we can learn to host one annually. The thinking is that since February is always a tough month for on-site meet-ups, that we should schedule a Virtual meet-up each February. And, as a way for us to keep in touch, we should have "one big joint meet-up".

I am further thrilled to announce that Caleb Porzio will be presenting Livewire and AlpineJS. Caleb is a co-organizer of Full Stack Buffalo, speaker at the recent LaraConOnline (https://laracon.net/#speakers), and author of Livewire (https://laravel-livewire.com/) and AlpineJS (https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine). You can hear Caleb on his weekly "No Plans To Merge" podcast (https://noplanstomerge.simplecast.com/). In his spare time, Caleb shares his VS Code set-up at https://learn-vscode.com.

I just published a blog post about this meet-up, along with thoughts about "code of conduct" at https://bobbloom.me/joint-virtual-php-meet-up-april-29-2020.

We will publish the meeting URL closer to the virtual meet-up.

Looking forward to seeing you!
