👋 Hey everyone,

Welcome to the Laravel discussions section. I felt that it might be cool to kick-off this section with a thread where you can introduce yourself. I'll start off!

I'm Dries, one of the core maintainers of Laravel where I maintain most of the first party open source libraries. I also maintain Laravel.io which is the Laravel community portal website.

In my free time I work on various open source projects, host events for Full Stack Belgium, organise a conference called Full Stack Europe, blog on my website and tweet from my twitter.

Who are you? Let us know in a comment below 👇

Hey 👋 I'm Liam.

I've got a couple of open source Laravel packages I maintain and share some tips about Laravel I've figured out on my site and Twitter.

First picked up Laravel on the tail end of v4, and loved it ever since. I haven't really worked with Laravel in my day job for a couple of years now, but love the framework and community too much I can't get away. Still using Laravel for a bunch of side-projects at least 🎉
