Maintaining Laravel

First published on June 17, 2019 · Last updated on May 9, 2020

A lot of people might wonder what it is to maintain a big open-source project like Laravel and all of its open-source libraries. In this video I'll take you through my daily routine of handling issues and also give you a few tips when posting issues. After the video you'll have a better understanding on what's involved in the process and how time consuming it can be.

There's quite a long intro at the beginning so if you immediately want to start watching at the point when I start handling issues, tune in at 12:47.

About me

I'm a software engineer from Belgium and work as one of the core team members of Laravel, the popular PHP framework.

Together with my buddy Rias, we're also the creators of Eventy, a platform that connects the dots between user groups, speakers, conferences and attendees.

I'm also the maintainer of Laravel.io, the Laravel community portal, where the community can ask questions, share knowledge, and connect with each other.

My passions are open-source, growing communities, and building products that people love.
