I am making open source contributions within the WWW and PHP community.

The main project I'm contributing to is PHP.Gt (https://github.com/PhpGt) - a collection of repositories that make up WebEngine, a tool for rapidly prototyping web products.

Secondly, I contribute to open source projects that help remove the bottlenecks of web development, such as Authwave (https://github.com/Authwave) and Hexform (https://github.com/Hexform).

For PHP repositories, I started PHP Actions, a set of GitHub Actions for PHP repositories that provide a minimal footprint to individual CI tools.

As part of my efforts with PHP.Gt, I am building web development video courses, initially aimed at complete beginners, but following through to building real world applications, tackling tough issues that professional web development has to face. These will be completely free and help grow the open source communities I'm working with.

Current open source projects

Take a look at the projects I'm most excited about right now:

  1. https://github.com/PhpGt - a set of minimalist tools that make up PHP.Gt/WebEngine, an application development toolkit aimed at streamlining development and respecting web technologies.
  2. https://github.com/SuperHyperInstantFutureTime - open source music-related projects, most notably TrackShift, an app to help independent music publishers understand their royalty payments.
  3. https://github.com/php-actions - A set of actions to bring PHP continuous integration to GitHub in a consistent way.
  4. https://github.com/Authwave - a tool so you never have to build user authentication again.
  5. https://github.com/g105b/api.horse - API testing tool.

2 sponsors have funded g105b’s work.

I'm dedicating more time to open source contributions, and it would mean so much to hit my first humble goal of 10 sponsors.
