Become a sponsor to M van Dam

Hi there,

My name is Michelangelo van Dam, also known as DragonBe on social media. If you have worked with PHP, chances are you might have heard my name. I'm a proud member of the global PHP community and I use GitHub to learn, explore, share and distribute my knowledge.

I help grow the PHP community by enabling others to create local PHP communities if there are no user groups in the area they live. I've inspired people to start user groups in the Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria and India and I keep on insprining others to do the same. With your help I can even give them the extra boost to help them reaching out to their local peers.

If you want to support me in enabling others to join the global PHP community with local user groups, please sponsor me here on GitHub.

Here are some examples:

@DragonBe

I'm looking to find 10 sponsors that will help me bringing PHP to those that don't have a community reach in their area and are not yet organizing a local community where they live. Already successfully helped several folks starting their local communities in the Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria and India. With your support I can reach more areas on this planet where PHP community is waiting to be formed.
