Ein Lagerfeuer, das alle brauchen, aber nur eine Person kümmert sich darum. So fühlt sich Open-Source-Maintenance oft an. Im Mai war #MaintainerMonth. Mit dem Sovereign Tech Fellowship fördern wir aktuell 6 Maintainer:innen strukturell und finanziell.
Imagine a campfire, everyone needs it, but only one person tends it. That’s open source maintenance in a nutshell. May was #MaintainerMonth. In 2025 we launched the #SovereignTechFellowship to support 6 maintainers with financial + structural backing. Maintenance is year-round. So is our commitment.
