The story behind our open source efforts
About me Freek Van der Herten Partner & developer at
SPATIE @freekmurze https://murze.be
Since 2003 Websites, applications and webshops Team 9 awesome human
beings Specialization Laravel / Vue development
Open Source Software
We use a lot of it Nginx, Laravel, Ubuntu, Vue,
Yarn, Redis, Beanstalkd, MySQL, Composer, Glide, Homestead, Flysystem, Fractal, Carbon, PHPUnit, NPM, React, jQuery, Java, SSH, Sequel Pro, BackupPC …
We create a lot of it ± 200 packages on
Packagist ± 20 000 000 downloads total, ±1 800 000 downloads a month Most popular ones: laravel-backup, laravel-medialibrary, laravel-permission Newest ones: laravel-view-models, laravel-blade-x Postcardware
Package development
The setting Zend Framework 1 PHP world was pretty stale
around 2012 Laravel 4: developer happiness, clear syntax Laracasts: miniseries on package development + Travis
The first package Browsershot: take screenshots of website programmatorically PhantomJS
Working in the open People started blogging about it
Beyond the first package Blender: conversion from Zend Framework to
Laravel A lot of functionalities that could be helpful to other developers New packages: laravel-newsletter, laravel-medialib, laravel- analytics Opensourcing Blender itself Very positive feedback from the community
Creating a habit Every package gets born inside a client
project Almost every client project results in a package: laravel-sitemap, opening-hours, … Teamwork Creating Blade X was a fun experience
Impact on many levels
Making time Time consuming Coding, writing tests, writing docs, getting
the word out Maintenance, responding to issues, reviewing PRs 6000 issues, 5000 PRs
Planning Only plan 4 days a week for client work
Extra day for support, learning and opensource efforts Free time
Benefits of creating packages A lot of learning by coding
up the package and writing tests Feedback from the community Free code! Dogfooding Getting our name out there
Getting exposure Speaking at conferences Company name becomes a seal
of quality More interesting projects International clients Hiring very talented people
Starting side projects https://ohdear.app Immediate audience Making friends Starting a
conference (https://fullstackeurope.com)
Beware of burn out Easy to work too much on
open source in free time Felt some of early staging Starting doing less https://murze.be/doing-less
Future plans
No fixed roadmap Depends on the client projects Nova tools
Saas projects
In closing
Working on packages has a lot of benefits It’s fun
Social aspect Can be recommended to everyone
