If you're a beginner at PHP, we'll set aside the first half hour to talk about basic PHP issues you have or provide guidance on what topics to pursue next. Bring your questions!

If you have an open source project you're contributing to or running, be ready to tell us a little about it and answer a couple questions.

I'll be attending Zendcon in Santa Clara Nov 1-4, so I'll be freshly returned and share some of my experiences toward the end of the meetup. I plan to take the certification exam while there, so I can provide insight on that process if you're interested and the sessions on security, anti-abuse, and deployment processes will give me more to talk about I'm sure.

About the location: Foran's is an Irish pub in the historic (and beautiful) Grand Trunk building downtown with amazing food. Their taps are 100% Michigan microbrews (and they have plenty of pop / coffee / juices if noon is too early for you to have a pint or you don't drink).

Menu (ordering food is optional of course - very informal): http://www.grandtrunk...
