Start of a new year is the best time to contemplate and summarize what was done last year. This time we decided to write it down and share it with you. So, what did we do in 2013?

In some sense, 2013 was a make it || break it year. With Ivan joining the ZgPHP organization team we finally had time and resources to focus on some community events outside of our regular monthly meetups.

As you might have noticed on few of our last tweets and Facebook statuses, we are starting to communicate in English only.

From now on, all tweets, facebook statuses, announcments, email notifications etc will be written in English only. One thing that will be bilingual (Croatian & English languages) is meetup itself. Hopefully this will change in future too but we are not willing to force our speakers to use English if they are not willing or feel they can’t do it at nearly same quality.
