KEYNOTE PANEL | Open Source in Action

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Panelists name PHP as having 10–15 core committers for the engine while hundreds more touch tooling; one contribution is an SSH library that gets pulled into curl and ends up on “every machine,” another is a WordPress plugin still emailing users, and an Exoth OAuth engine lands inside apps like Instagram. Advice is concrete: license with BSD/MIT/Apache, expect legal friction when open-sourcing corporate code, use GitHub forks and pull requests, prioritize design for consumer success, and treat open source as a social activity—share, iterate, and accept critique.
