Hitting 5.5 million @github accounts in the UK, it’s 7.9% per capita of the UK population and emphasising our nation of collaborative workers.

ok I'm pretty excited for this one - you know how at the @sovtechfund we sustain open source projects with our general fund, our BRP program, etc. right?

WELL we're about to add ONE MORE program to our roster; and this one is directly for the **#opensourcemaintainers** 🤩

It means we'll be supporting a few maintainers directly: it should help a lot, for example, folks who work on multiple projects... or think about all the non coding works that needs to get done!
