@anonymous3,
I feel sad you compare this session with the keynote talk at DPC09 about Digg, because it isn't.
Community involvement is more then just a user group, it's all about you!!! If you're doing PHP for a living, you might want to share solutions you have found working out complex projects on a blog or newsletter, if you have some dead time on your hands, you might want to help out the PHP team by testing the PHP core or write some documentation, fixing bugs for your favorite framework or library, provide support on IRC or IM, etc...
This talk is about how PHPBenelux motivated it's members to participate, becoming involved in the eco system that makes PHP PHP. If community is not your thing, that's ok. But do check out the session, because you're probably involved already and no one pointed it out to you.

PHP's strength is in community. Period.
