Integrating open source

You might be stuck working with an internal framework that’s like nothing you’ve ever seen in the wild, but that doesn’t mean you can’t leverage the power of open source in your projects.

Together, we'll take a look at what Composer is and what it can do for you, as well as open source libraries that we can use to solve established problems such as logging and access control.

By taking a look at common problems and how we can integrate freely available tools into our bespoke frameworks we can minimise the amount of code that we have to maintain ourselves, leaving us to do what we do best: build meaningful software.

Good, though a bit short. Is this talk going to involve Composer, and if so, will it also include a walk-through of how to use it for those who aren't already familiar, or will it assume that knowledge and primarily be an "ecosystem talk?"

@elazar Thanks for the feedback. I've added another paragraph clarifying the intent of the talk. It's more of a "here's a tool that can help, and here are some of the libraries you can use with it". There may be an example of how to use composer depending on the length of the talk slot.
