Hi All, a latish reminder for the upcoming Auckland PHP meetup.
Venue Sponsor: Amnesty International New Zealand. [i]"Amnesty International NZ has been using Drupal since 2007. Previously on a Lotus Domino website hosted in-house, intermittent issues pointed to a drastic need to have a stable solution. Drupal was picked primarily because it was also chosen by our international colleagues in London, and also because the open source platform aligned with our organisational culture. (Recently, Sparks Interactive re-vamped the site! Shameless plugs here http://is.gd/58eFL and Berend of Xplain Technology provides us with our awesome hosting for free!!!) We have also used several other open source PHP solutions such as Wordpress for our Freedomchallenge website (www.freedomchallenge.org.nz) and small custom applications for various other things. We are always on the lookout for probono PHP work, and love the help that the PHPUG has given us so far! This sponsorship was a tiny little giveback to the community!"[/i] Topic: Magento E-Commerce platform Speaker: Robert Popovic, LERO9, http://www.lero9.co.nz Robert is the Technical Director and co-founder of LERO9.
