NYPHP is organizing a holiday party for the evening of December 16th and
you're invited! Please let us know if you'd like to attend by sending an

I think the interesting thing is that these types of applications do exist in PHP.  In passing, I've seen some excellent software, written in house, and kept private.  It's really a matter of public domain stuff, and a sense of a strong - public - community.  PHP vs Perl is akin to BSD vs Linux - we all know which one is better, but the BSD guys just don't care to talk about it so much :)

In the end, this is what NYPHP - and now NYCBUG - seek to promote - community.
