Unser Fokus liegt auf der digitalen Infrastruktur für das 21. Jahrhundert. Wir setzen uns für die langfristige Stabilität des Open-Source-Ökosystems ein und stellen Maintainer:innen und ihre Arbeit in den Mittelpunkt. So wie Maintenance kontinuierlich stattfindet, unterstützen wir Maintainer:innen kritischer Infrastruktur über das gesamte Jahr.

Für die Sovereign Tech Agency ist 2025 das erste Jahr des Fellowship-Programms. Sechs Maintainer:innen erhalten dabei strukturelle und finanzielle Unterstützung für ihre wichtige Arbeit. Ziel des Pilotprogramms ist es, Expert:innen über einzelne Technologie- Projekte und Branchen hinweg zu unterstützen und das Open-Source-Ökosystem somit widerstandsfähiger und nachhaltiger zu machen.

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.

We’re focused on digital infrastructure for the 21st century. That means we’re committed to the long-term stability of the open source ecosystem, and centering maintainers and their work. May may be #MaintainerMonth, but for us, recognizing and supporting maintainers isn’t limited to a one month on calendar – just like maintenance itself.

For the Sovereign Tech Agency, 2025 is the first year of our Fellowship program, with six maintainers receiving structural and financial support for their critical work. The goal is to support key individuals in a way that transcends technologies and sectors, helping to strengthen the open source ecosystem as a resilient and sustainable foundation for digital infrastructure.

Imagine a campfire that everyone needs, yet you're the only one tending it. For many maintainers of free and open source software, this story isn’t far from reality. What begins as a passion project can become a critical dependency for the world of technologies.
May was #MaintainerMonth: a shared moment to gather, share knowledge, and express appreciation for the people doing the quiet work behind the code.

May is #MaintainerMonth! OISF proudly stewards and sustains Suricata — 15+ years strong. We celebrate all who help secure open source, this year and every year. #SecuringOpenSource #Suricata
This What’s in the SOSS? podcast is a special #MaintainerMonth episode featuring GitHub’s Securing Open Source Software Fund—where training meets funding to help OSS projects scale security.
Thank you to those who contribute their time, expertise, and leadership to maintaining the #opensource software the world relies on—even if the average person doesn't appreciate how much they depend on your work, understand what it takes to do your work, or consider how much work you do.
#MaintainerMonth isn't enough, but I hope my gratitude provides some recognition. Please join me in thanking the @apereo projects that support colleges and universities worldwide.
It’s #MaintainerMonth
Maintainers are more than just contributors—they’re stewards of community-driven innovation. Their work ensures the stability, scalability, and sustainability of tools that empower educators and learners around the world.
We say thank you to the maintainers who make it all possible. 
This #MaintainerMonth, we want to highlight some of the #OpenStack contributors who have shown leadership specifically around security:
- @jay and Brian Rosmaita for taking an increasing share of responsibility within the Vulnerability Management Team
- Josephine Seifert and Markus Hentsch have been instrumental in the tireless effort behind Image Encryption
Thank you for all of your hard work and contributions in making OpenStack more secure!
Open source runs the world, but who runs open source?
Die Antwort darauf sind freiwillige Maintainer*innen, die “Menschen hinter dem Code”.
Wir möchten, passend zum #MaintainerMonth, diese kürzlich veröffentlichte Podcast Episode von “Wild Wild Web” teilen:

We have some updates on the website. A lot of small hygiene improvements, cleaning up code, optimizing, and small fixes like that. But we also have a couple of larger updates. First out, we have added the user RVA2869 as triager to the repository. 
They have been helping out for a sustained time and could use some more tools. #civictech #maintainermonth
