• Get introduced on my Open-Source Laravel localization project and what made it to achieve 1M downloads.

• Learn about the experience of being a Open Source package maintainer, get advised (specially on what to do differently).

• End the presentation inspired to do the same I did (or even better)!

I will start by explaining a little bit about the project and it’s differentials.

The second part will explain the process and the most important decisions and suggestions that I got from friends and co-workers (highlighting the importance of sharing your personal projects with people you thrust).

Third part will speak about how to get financial support for a free and Open Source project. Here I will also reveal what I would do differently if I could go back in time.

Last part will provide valorous advices for who is starting or looking for a project to start. I will also try to finish the presentation by inspiring people to do the same I did (or even better).
