Can anyone point me to a #PHP presentation (at a user group or conference) that took place earlier than 10 April 1996?
If not, the Linux User Group of Rochester (still active at https://www.lugor.org ) might have the distinction of having hosted the first PHP presentation ever.

I’m not sure what makes this campaign different from other ones in the #PHP community, but there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to exceed the campaign’s goal and support Joe.
Joe is ranked #14 in number of commits to the PHP source code. That’s out of thousands of contributors. If you use PHP, or any project that depends on PHP, then you’re benefiting from countless hours of work that Joe has contributed to the project.
Please consider donating.

I’m Ben, a coder, author, & speaker. I’ve been at this for >25 years, & I’m always eager to help. If you have questions about the Web, FOSS, PHP, or APIs, ask. I advocate for decentralization, open source, open standards, & the Commons.
I’m active in the PHP community. I'm a release manager for PHP versions 8.1 & 8.2. I founded AtlantaPHP & co-organize @nashvillephp, & I authored the popular ramsey/uuid library.
I’ve spoken at many conferences. If you see me at one, say “hi.”
