PHUG – Open Source Culture, was founded over a year ago. It is our goal to develop an Open Source Culture where designers and developers meet to share their knowledge, experience, tools, and expertise in order to bridge the gap between both their communities.
We have successfully built a community of over 4000 members online, we host FREE workshops across Toronto, and will be hosting WordCamp Toronto 2009!

The FlashPress development thread is restricted to contributors of this group. If you would like to contribute to this project please contact us at [email protected]
