We’re supporting Doctrine by organizing the Core Team Meetup in Paris!

We’re organizing the upcoming Doctrine Core Team Meetup, taking place October 7-9 at the JoliCode Office in Paris.

The goal: bring the team together in person to discuss, collaborate, and push Doctrine forward. These meetups are a chance to focus deeply on improvements, exchange ideas, and strengthen the project for the entire community.

Why we need your support

Organizing these meetups wouldn’t be possible without sponsors. If you’d like to support Doctrine, you can do so via GitHub Sponsors or OpenCollective.

Your contributions make it possible to organize hackathons and core team meetups, covering 3–4 days of accommodation, meals, and travel. If the Doctrine team increases their funds with your help, we could meet more often and in larger groups.

Why it matters

Doctrine thrives because of the passion and dedication of its contributors.

By supporting the Doctrine team, you’re helping to bring people together, multiplying this enthusiasm, and ensuring the continued progress of one of the most widely used projects in the PHP ecosystem.

We’re excited to see what great teamwork and fresh ideas will come out of Paris—and we look forward to sharing the results with you!

Why we do it

We like supporting the open-source community because it’s part of our Tideways-DNA. Apart from Doctrine, we’re committed to supporting other open-source endeavors.
