It came to my attention that New York's PHP User Group is very big and rather active. I believe we should try to reach out to them and try to bring them over to our Drupal Group.
They have been established for much longer than NYC DUG and i believe we could benefit greatly from having them integreated with Drupal User Group as well as teach them to benefit from drupal.
I would like to hear ideas and discuss how we should approach this goal. After we come up with a plan, we would probably need a number of volunteers to visit PHP DUG meetup and give a talk on drupal and encourage them to come to our meetups and drupalcamps.
so how do you guys think we should proceed ?

Reach Out
I think it's a great idea to try and connect these two groups. The Philly Drupal group usually meets with the Philly PHP group and though it's a smaller group, I think it's worthwhile to pursue joint meetups for at least a few times a year.
Then again, if you can't stand hearing "Drupal? Whatever, I build my own CMS." then it might not be worth it.
