Amit Singh passed on a note about an event happening in September, a gathering of PHPers around Pune, India - PHPCamp.

PHPCamp is a 'ad-hoc gathering' for PHP community. It similar to barcamp, but more focused towards PHP based web application development. This means that anyone can come to PHPCamp and participate.

Right now the details are pretty tentative, but the even is scheduled to happen on September 20th and will last all day. They're still looking for a venue but you can go ahead and add your name to their list of campers if you'd like to attend.

A new PHP event has been put together for those a bit more outdoor-inclined - PHP Appalachia.

Anyone with any knowledge (or an urge to learn) about PHP is welcome to attend. Reegistration is only $15 USD for attendance price, including an event t-shirt. Accomodations are available for a reasonable rate (besides brining your own shelter) and meals are available for about $25 USD per day.

You can get the complete details from the event's website, and if you'd like to help promote the camping trip, digg it!
