NYCPHP Meetup

[Mitch Pirtle]

I suspect that if someone wanted help installing Joomla, they would
already have a place they wanted it but had no technical expertise in
getting it setup. Or, they have no idea what is needed in the first
place.

Then again, to me a Joomla-specific install fest sounds more like
templates and other extensions and not just the base package.

What is the expectation for an event like this, for a platform like this?
