The PHP language owner is responsible for the success of Heroku developers building in PHP. They are part of the broader “languages team”, a group of developers with similar language-specific responsibilities and shared infrastructure.
A language owner will be responsible for varying degrees of
- building core language-specific features such as the “build pack”,
- working within the community to improve projects upstream to provide a better experience for Heroku users,
- customer outreach,
- customer support,
- sales support,
- language-specific documentation and content, and
- marketing responsibilities such as attending and speaking at conferences.
