Meeting October 5, 2004

The October Meeting is confirmed for Tuesday, Oct 5th at 6:30 pm.
The Location is the NW Library Branch Meeting Room on the corner of 23rd and Thurman.
The speaker is Eric Laffoon, the lead developer of Quanta Plus, a web development environment which works very well for PHP development.
Doors open at 6:00pm and talk starts at 6:30pm. They kick us out at 8:00pm.

Food and drink are welcome in the meeting room, just cannot make a mess and of course no alcohol (But a short pub run after the meeting is not out of the question if anyone is interested)

Lyza, the organizer of the next meetup was at our meeting so no need to inform.

If there are other web/scripting/php groups in Portland, I think we should most definitely make an attempt to befriend them and discuss coordinating our efforts to help better accomplish what we describe in our mission statement
