  • 10 Things I Gained At PHPCamp

    When I returned home after PHPCamp, my younger sister asked me what was my benefit in organizing the event when I did not gave any talks.

    I thought that their would be others who would like to know about this, so here are 10 things I gained at PHPCamp without giving any talks.

    1. Do Something.

    It reinforced my belief that if you need something and it is not available, then go ahead and create it. Don’t wait for someone else to do it, changes happens when you do something about it. When I was thinking about an un-conference dedicated to PHP, I didn’t know what to do about it. When I talked with few people they sounded interested in the idea, but not willing to do anything about it. Once I created PHPCamp website and announced about the event, everything fall in place, And not only that it become the biggest un-conference in India with more then 700 campers participating out of 1212 registrations.

    2. Meet people, I knew online

    When I started PHPCamp’s Google group many people pitched in to talk about different aspect’s of organizing the camp. At PHPCamp I met them for first time. Some of them are Dipen, Rohan, Jignesh, Nishit, Shantanu oak, Sandeep, Ashwin and Bipin.

    3. Photo in Pune Mirror

    I had never thought I will get in news papers, but thanks to PHPCamp I got pictured in Pune Mirror and guys this is not the best part. ‘PHP’ got mentioned in a Indian News Paper without job ad, that is the best part. Before this, I had never seen PHP being mentioned in a daily newspaper.

  • PHPCamp: India’s Biggest Unconference

    I have just returned after un-organizing India’s biggest un-conference. 1212 people registered before we closed the registrations yesterday at 7.30pm.

    Today despite heavy rains, 700+ people from Mumbai, Ahmadnagar, Nasik, Pune and Bangalore turned up.

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank Symbiosis(SICSR) students and Pune IT Labs Volunteers who did all the hard work to make a dream come to a reality. Special thanks goes to Tarun and Rohit for giving PHPCamp an explosive start.

  • PHPCamp in Pune Mirror

    camping to connect

    News about PHP and PHPCamp was published in today’s Pune Mirror.

    Their is just one mistake though, MySpace[:( ]  is not in PHP. It’s my mistake, I conveyed the wrong information while disscussing[i still can’t figure out from where ‘myspace is in php’ came to my mind] with reporter, stupid me 🙁 .

    I regret not saying Yahoo Answers or Wikipedia as an example instead of MySpace.
