We are not responsible for their content.") thanks to [Acquia](https://acquia.com "This link will take you to an external web site. We are not responsible for their content."). I was also accepted to speak at the conference. I usually talk on the topic of "I built a cool thing." Not this time. This time I went the opposite way, pointing out how many unnecessary features Mautic has and how cool it...

We are not responsible for their content."). Little did I know that this small act would result in a visit to Silicon Valley, which had been my dream since my early days. Mautic was selected as an OSS project to participate in the [Google Summer of Code 2024](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/organizations/mautic "This link will take you to an external web site. We are not responsible for their content."), and my proposal turned out to be a great project for this program.

[Since PHP 5.6](https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration56.new-features.php#migration56.new-features.splat "This link will take you to an external web site. We are not responsible for their content."). I've discovered it quite recently by browsing PHP docs. From a quick google search it doesn't seem it's being used much. What I tried right away is if it can be used for type hinting each array parameter instead of just using just...

We are not responsible for their content."), but being lazy human, I'll place it to this article so I don't have to create it every time. I added the ActiveCampaign project as comparison for [Mautic](https://mautic.com "This link will take you to an external web site. We are not responsible for their content.") as it is also marketing automation tool which started only 4 years before Mautic. Hubspot and Marke...

I write code for living and I love it. I have the amazing oportunity to build open source software [Mautic](https://mautic.org "This link will take you to an external web site.
