📣 Open source maintainers are concerned about the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Don’t panic and watch this webinar!

This webinar, organised with GitHub as part of the #MaintainerMonth, clarifies:
- How the CRA impacts your project.
- The relationship between maintainers and manufacturers.
- How time is clarifying the doubts around the CRA implementation.
- Why the CRA FAQ is the must read resource to stay up to date.

Maintainers are the backbone of open source.

Their work is often invisible, but essential.

Here's just a couple of things maintainers provide:

🧩 They bring order to chaos.
💬 Foster respectful collaboration.
🔐 Keep our tools secure.

Whether you're just starting out or building the next big thing, maintainers make it possible.

Join us in celebrating them this month and every month. 💚

Is there a list of slop-creation agents that are active on GitHub? Not the kind of review-bots like code rabbit that seem to be behaving themself but for things like this sort-of plausible PR that requires a code-review twice as long as the actual code:

This is much fun for maintainers. Thank you GitHub for making this popular /s

Here are five open source projects powering the tools you rely on:

🐧 Linux – powers most servers and Android phones
🌍 WordPress – builds 40%+ of the web
🦊 Firefox – open browser focused on privacy

#OpenSource #MaintainerMonth #TechForGood

Stell dir ein Lagerfeuer vor, das alle brauchen, doch nur eine Person kümmert sich darum. Für viele Open-Source-Software Maintainer:innen ist das keine Metapher. Was als Herzensprojekt beginnt, kann zu einer kritischen Abhängigkeit für die gesamte Tech-Welt werden.

Mai ist #MaintainerMonth: ein gemeinsamer Moment in der Open-Source-Community, um zusammenzukommen, Wissen zu teilen und den Menschen Wertschätzung zu zeigen, die im Hintergrund konstant an Code arbeiten.
