Just wanted to bring everyone up to date on some things that are happening with PHPWomen
1) the site is currently being housed on a temporary server as we get ready to move it over to new hosting. A big thanks to Cal for hosting us the past 2 years! Because of it being on a temporary server, you may notice problems with the forums and/or links. We know of these are will be working to fix things up when we go to our next host.
2) PHPWomen.org is now a not-for-profit incorporation in the state of Florida. I have a couple of other things left to do (like get a tax id for us) but after that I hope to file for a 501(3)(c) tax exempt charity. This will more then likely to take quite a while to get - but we are at least on the road to it.
3) Various volunteers are currently trying to pick the top 3 photos for elephpant world tour. It is a hard choice and I do not envy them the choice.

Just noticed a cool FREE webinar for those that are going after their ZCE. Zend will be holding on the 30th of January the webinar “Everything you need to know about the PHP 5 Certification Exam“
So if you are chasing after that elusive ZCE and feel like you need more - or are considering going after your ZCE, be sure to attend. Can’t hurt anything and may just give you want you need to feel confident taking the test.

Well maybe not so quietly. We hit our one year anniversary for PHPWomen while at Zend Con this year and had a great time. In that one year we have set up this site, been to 2 conferences sending 2 people who would not of normally been able to go, handed out t-shirts at those conferences, grown a member list of 250+ strong and made some really strong connections to the PHP Community as a whole. Not bad. Hopefully this next year will allow us to do even more, so wish us luck.
What started out as a call for the women in PHP to stand up and be noticed on Oct 8th, 2006 has grown into the current site and organization we now have. I want to send out a great big thanks to Elizabeth Naramore, Elizabeth Smith, Sara Golemon, Lorna Mitchell, and Kathy Reid for all the incredible help in building the community and site. I would also like to send a big thanks to all our booth babes - Cal Evans, Curt Zirzow, Chris Cornutt, Ben Ramsey, Paul Reinheimer, Derick Rethans, and Jay Pipes for wearing our shirts, talking to people, helping to promote our site/community at the various conferences and just being all around sex objects for us. Another big thanks has to go to Zend and PHPArchitect for donating passes to their conferences. Zend was also incredibly generous and give us a booth during Zend Con and helped us with cash to offset the cost of the t-shirts we gave out. Lastly I would like to thank the PHP Community as a whole. You have been great in supporting us and we couldn’t be here without you.

If you are a PHPWomen member and attending the Zend conference please be sure to add your name to our page in it. We would love to know who is going - to at the very least meet you face to face and give you a t-shirt.

Ok - we are finally past the holidays and all the craziness they involve. While we have been away KathyReid has been slaving away taking her winning logo and building a new look for the site. She has started a thread seeking any feedback and if you feel adventureous - feel free to play with the CSS yourself to make any changes you think are needed. Just be sure to post the updated CSS.
