Keynote: Resurrecting the Dead
Have you ever considered what would happen when a popular open source package is abandoned?
Now, what about when that package is one of your essential dependencies?
This scenario is not some abstract scenario for a far away future. Projects get abandoned every day and your dependency might be next... But you can help!
Come & listen to some tales of an accidental maintainer and learn about what you can do to help try and prevent these situations from getting out of hand.
Juliette Reinders Folmer is an opinionated, passionate busy-body with a prolific portfolio of contributions to various high profile open source projects over the years. She is the current maintainer of PHP_CodeSniffer, co-author of PHPCompatibility, initiator of PHPUnit Polyfills and created the PHP Cheatsheets.
