We’re excited to celebrate #maintainermonth! Thank you to all of the open source maintainers who help build the tools used every day by developers (including the 1Password team).

Our 1Password for Open Source program is used by more than 732 open source projects to secure their maintainers and contributors.

It's nice when people say thanks for my volunteering work.

It's great to learn about the unexpected use cases of my solutions.

It's exciting when someone books me for an open source office hour session.

It's awesome when they even book my professional services for our mutual benefit.

Very excited to announce that @lornajane and I are running a new @openuk Meetup that's digital-only, alongside the other great events being run by the #OpenUK organisation.

Our first event will be a tie-in with #GitHub's #MaintainerMonth and we'll be hearing from a number of excellent maintainers from a variety of projects - stay tuned for more details.

Looking forward to seeing some of y'all on May 22nd at 1200 noon (UK time) for an interesting webinar!

(This will be in addition to other OpenUK events still being hybrid where possible)

👋 hi, I’m Kara, I work at GitHub supporting open source maintainers. I have a few things to share today, please pass them along to your FOSS / maintainer friends? 💗 ➡️

I think we should have an "official" Open Source Appreciation Day. On that day, once a year, we all show some extra love 😍 to our favorite open source maintainers, like buying them a coffee, sending a (wanted) PR, spread the word about our favorite project or just say thank you!

We could also have little parties! 🪩🎊🍕

"You cannot claim to care about open source without also caring about humans."

I want to start a meaningful conversation about Critical Human Infrastructure.
