Releasing open-source libraries is more than sharing your GitHub URL with the world. There are many considerations and steps involved especially for successful and long-lived projects.
In this talk, we’ll cover the principles behind creating, releasing, and maintaining high-quality libraries. Topics will include structuring the repository, implementing modern PHP standards, maintaining changelogs, using CI tests, releasing new versions, and more.

After 2,086 days, 1,632 commits, and 75 releases I’m pleased to share that league/commonmark has been downloaded over 10 million times! 🎉🎉🎉
Open-source development is more than big new features and major releases. Small contributions are just as important to the success of open-source projects! Any improvement, no matter how small, can help both the project and other developers.
Discussed open-source topics including project support, implementing and maintaing SemVer, and licensing concerns.
