Welcome to Maintainer Month: Events, exclusive discounts, and a new security challenge

Open source software (OSS) is a crucial component of the modern software ecosystem, with widespread adoption across companies and codebases, and it is estimated to hold a global value of $8.8 trillion. GitHub hosts a significant portion of OSS and celebrates its community of maintainers during Maintainer Month each May, offering events, discounts, and resources to support and recognize their contributions. This year, the Maintainer Month Partner Pack provides various perks from organizations supporting OSS, while new security guidance and the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund aim to enhance project security. Participants can also engage in the Maintainer Month Security Challenge to improve their skills and project defenses.
