We were so grateful to take part in this year's Maintainer Month! It is thanks to wonderful people like @duane, Jessica Tegner, @filippo, and @aclairefication that made it possible. Additional thanks go to our sponsors who help us capture these unique perspectives on open source maintainership.

Read our recap and transparency report below.

What started as Maintainer Week three years ago begins again this week as #MaintainerMonth! ✨

Open source is a victim of its own success – there are many systemic issues, including entrenched resource disparities with modern software development hinging on an exploitative and extractive relationship with volunteer labor.

This is a month to spotlight these issues as well as the maintainers and contributors we all rely on.

#GitHub #MaintainerMonth would be a perfect month for maintainers to fight back against the ongoing abuse and monetization of their hard work and intellectual property by Microsoft and #GiveUpGitHub.

#OpenSource deserves better than the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for its developers.
