Hello and welcome to the Washington, DC PHP Developers' Group mailing list.

Although the vast majority of our activity is on the mailing list, there are a number of events that happen each month. Some are strictly professional with a formal presentation, question and answer time, and a general discussion on problems and topics on PHP. Others are a little less structured and consist of DC-local technology people getting together over beers to discuss the woes and fun of a technology career.

Please join our Meetup group and attend events: https://www.meetup.com/DC-PHP/. To speak at one of our Meetups please fill out our Call for Speakers.

In addition to the events, there is a Developer Community. This site aggregates blog posts from community members and also has a directory of companies and individuals using PHP.

There is only one requirement to join the list/group: Don't spam us. Trust me, you wouldn't like the results.

If you want to post jobs, there are two requirements:

The job must be mostly PHP-based. This is a PHP list after all. ;)
The subject line MUST begin with [job]

To make your job posting more effective, consider these strong suggestions:

clearly identify if it's a job or project;
include compensation range/package;
if possible, name the organization; and
clearly delineate which things are required vs desired in your candidate.

These things will make everyone's life easier.

For easy filter/identification purposes, the subject line of all messages has "[dcphp-dev]" (without quotes) as a prefix. Job postings will also have "[job]" added to the prefix. If you are posting a job, simply begin your subject with [job]. The [dcphp-dev] portion will be automatically added.
