Gearing up for Maintainer Month this May!

Maintainer Month is a global event taking place in May that celebrates and supports the vital contributions of open source maintainers. It includes a variety of activities such as workshops, podcasts, and conferences, notably featuring the Open Source Summit North America in Vancouver, where maintainers can share their stories. The event also seeks partners to host events, sponsor projects, and amplify stories about maintainers using the hashtag #MaintainerMonth. Companies and organizations are encouraged to participate by providing support through sponsorships, organizing community events, and possibly launching FOSS Funds. The initiative underscores the importance of recognizing and sustaining the efforts of maintainers in strengthening the open source ecosystem.
