Thank you for always supporting the South African PHP community! Give them a follow to show we support them too!

:)

Communities are wonderful, I love our PHP South Africa community. I hope you find (or start) a great community near you.

I used to say "Let's build an atmosphere where everyone is welcome!" This statement was WRONG. We should build an unfriendly and unwelcoming atmosphere to sexists, racist & other assholes. That way everyone else can feel safe.

I'm looking for other women or non-binary people who work with, or use Symfony in any way. I only know a few of us, so I'm feeling pretty alone in the community, and I'd love to connect! We could form a small strong group together! 💚 Please RT for reach.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.
