Please consider supporting OSMI and its mission to help those facing mental illness in the tech community. Donate to Open Sourcing Mental Illness

OSMI began in 2013, with Ed Finkler speaking at tech conferences about his personal experiences as a web developer and open-source advocate with a mental health disorder. The response was overwhelming, and thus OSMI was born. OSMI board members and volunteers bring their time and expertise to bear on this important issue by organizing efforts to change the experiences of those with mental health disorders in the tech workplace. This includes speaking at conferences and companies, conducting research, and creating documentation to assist companies in making supportive environments for those impacted by mental health disorders.

10 years of Laravel, and the framework continues to grow stronger with the passing of each release. More and more talented developers are creating packages and contributing to the overall health of Laravel. We talk with Eric Barnes, Matt Stauffer, and Taylor Otwell. We talk about conferences, kids, PHP, and so much more. 

Sammy opens the Roundtable back up. Everyone talks about what they've been doing for the past few years. What we are up to now. And what the future holds for The PHPRoundtable.

There have been lots of big changes happening with the PHP-FIG. Today we chat with a number of figgies to get the inside scoop on what has changed and also get a glimpse inside of the latest accepted standard, PSR-18: HTTP Client Interface.

The PHP podcast is where everyone chimes in.
