Our third official Phlyte meting will be held on Thursday, June 30th, at the usual Salt Lake City location at Code Greene in Foothill Village. Everyone interested in the project is encouraged to attend.
The goal is to continue to make the important decisions and to get started actually writing some code this week. We’d like to cover directory structure for the site, coding style standards, and some basic guidelines for what code belongs in which files.
After the meeting is over, this article will be updated with links to an audio recording, if we can get one, and a meeting report with a summary of the decisions we made. Don’t forget to use the #phlyte IRC channel and the Phlyte mailing list, too.
For our June meeting, Ray Hunter and Joshua Simpson gave an excellent presentation on basic Linux network security, troubleshooting & tips. They taught us a bunch of useful things about firewalling, PAM, SSH, Linux boot/startup, and configuring Apache.

For our May meeting, Wade Shearer presented on CSS and XHTML standards, theory, and design practices. The presentation covered basic to advanced topics including fundamental design and programming principles for powerful, efficient, flexible, standards-based web development. He covered web design elements and techniques as part of a lesson in theory and direct application.
Ray Hunter presented on GUI programming with PHP and GTK. This will be yet another excellent UPHPU presentation. I am continually amazed at Rays knowledge and experience. For those that missed it, Ray gave a well-prepared and well-covered presentation.
