(Not that I think our current membership is "old blood" or that we need an infusion of "new blood" or anything, that was just the phrase that popped into my head :p)
I think that uphpu members might be well served by holding a meeting on putting together a good resume, interviewing for jobs (for those looking for a 9 to 5 with an established company), meeting with prospective customers, pitching yourself and your skills, and closing sales (for those looking for freelance work). In addition, it might be beneficial to UPHPU as an organization to seek out schools in Utah that teach PHP and then go there and let them know about our organization and invite their students to the job search/resume/freelancing seminars. This way we can attract new members and provide a service to the community at the same time. Also, vis a vis attracting new members - I was at the bookstore one day and saw a guy pick up a book on PHP, so I told him about UPHPU. I don't know if he ever made his way here or not, but it gave me an idea. When I bought a copy of Jarhead (a book about a Marine in the Iraq war), there was a business card inside of it for a Marine recruiter. I thought it was a clever way to reach your target audience. It might help us get new members if we had some business cards printed up and slipped them into PHP books in various bookstores across the state. I'd be willing to donate some cash for the printing of the cards. Dan -- What is the largest power of two that has three zeros at the end of its base 7 representation?
