Hi everyone!
I got in touch with Chris Cornutt, who's organizing the Lone Star PHP conference coming up on June 29th - 30th in Dallas, TX and got a user group discount code. If you're interested in going and haven't already registered, email me directly (off-list if you're getting this through the Google group, please don't post questions and comments on Meetup) and I can send you the code. We don't have to all register together or do anything special to use the code.
I think this conference will be well worth the experience (and similar to last year's PHPComCon in Nashville), as it's smaller than something like php|tek or ZendCon (not to mention cheaper - only $175) and you'll have a lot easier access to some well known people in the PHP community - the speaker roster looks terrific. I hope we can get at least a few of us to go from AtlantaPHP.
Chris
