Reminder to folks at #phptek #phptek24 - the @zend booth is raffling off the small elephpants and hats at 1:40pm. If you haven't entered yet, stop by before then!

Excited to see that, even if I can't be physically at #phptek, I'm still making an impact :-)

#phptek @ramsey Calling out that everyone using tools built on php ARE php developers

auroraeosrose, 23 days ago to random

#phptek The best documentation is written by newcomers

They find the important stuff that the current folks "already know"

Crell, 23 days ago to random

Uh oh. Got called out by @ramsey.

#phptek We need more cool applications written in PHP

I remember the blog and framework and CMS wars

Those times of competition made everything better

#phptek The way to get into open source is to show up. Mailing lists, github, discord and slack. Ask questions, read. But first you have to just show up.

#phptek if every user did just one documentation fix a year - what @ramsey calls "light open source contributions"

We would be light-years ahead

auroraeosrose, 23 days ago to random

#phptek I would argue with @ramsey s statement that being active on mailing lists and helping others isn't being involved in open source

Every answer someone gives to a user's problem is mental weight a maintainer or contributor can let go of

True words.

#phptek @ramsey I think there are quite a few of us in the same age cohort who lived this.

Does #oss need saving?
What are we saving it from?
What are we saving it for?

It’s good to see @ramsey share his personal discovery that when he was looking for a job nobody gave a shit about all the amazing OSS contributions he made. #phptek24 #phptek

Opening keynote for today at #phptek is @ramsey tilting at the "Saving Open Source" windmill

fakebenramsey, 23 days ago to opensource

That’s not me up on stage talking about saving #OpenSource at #phptek

I have neglected to mention my Interns while at #phptek24 #phptek but here they are hoping I never come back
