The creator of Laravel, Taylor Otwell, announced new ways to support Laravel using Patreon.
Companies are now able to opt in to perks (assuming they pay at the right sponsorship levels) such as a priority Slack channel, “individual monthly video conferences,” and other things. It’s certainly an interesting way to support an open-source project. Laravel has a lot of momentum, and I’m sure Taylor will go through several iterations attempting the right fit. He’s probably be well served to setup a proper foundation at some point.
