Maintainerati

We are a group of Open Source Software maintainers. We run an unconference, open space for open source software maintainers. No talks, just discussions.

[Maintainerati @maintainerati]

What do open source maintainers need? At long last, we share the lessons learned at our Berlin 2019 event in the first of our Event Report Series. Learn more at https://t.co/Ru7NLfkt8u

Cultural change around open source is a big project and we cannot do it alone. We need your help! We're looking for coders, designers, writers, facilitators, and more. Whatever your skills, we welcome your involvement. Please volunteer to help us out:

It’s easy to be misunderstood online, and emojis only get you so far 😩. Maintainers need to be aware of their communication styles. Read more about creating healthy communications cultures in our Berlin 2019 Event Report https://t.co/lR7CMWpAx6

Burnout is real. Between the constant demand for fixes, the lack of outside contributions, and, oh yes, their day jobs, maintainers are under a lot of stress. Learn how we can help nurture a culture of sustainable self-care in our Berlin 2019 Event Report https://t.co/J1ZChZ8B3A

@twarko @DEGoodmanWilson Sadly, this is precisely the attitude that needs changing, saying maintenance is for “dullards”. Maintainers are critical for keeping the internet operating, and we should celebrate them as the heroes they are.

[Maintainerati @maintainerati]

Maintenance is boring. Help us to encourage creating a culture where maintainers and maintenance is celebrated as much as innovation and novelty. Learn more in our Berlin 2019 Event Report https://t.co/8D126vF3fX

[Maintainerati @maintainerati]

Open source projects should be thinking about governance and project management early—but maintainers need training and resources! Learn more about the need for governance best practices and management training in our Berlin 2019 Event Report https://t.co/rJ2uk2kGAA

@lolamby We're definitely looking for volunteers to help with our graphic design…

[Maintainerati @maintainerati]

Funding isn’t yet a solved problem, and too many efforts focus on individuals instead of setting up effective governance. Learn more about the challenges of funding open source in our Berlin 2019 Event Report https://t.co/yYATzHnWkb

My OSS confessional blog post is finally published: https://t.co/CBc8DxcaHk -- I'm interested in hearing from other OSS contributors on ideas for how we can improve.

@zetaraffix DMs should be open, just drop us a note!

We're starting to plan out our 2020 tour. What if we brought Maintainerati to Nigeria?

Retweet if you would like to see a Maintainerati event in Lagos!

[Maintainerati @maintainerati]

@marc_in_london Same!

[Maintainerati @maintainerati]

Our goal for 2020 is to host a number of Maintainerati events across the globe, and being the development of maintainer-focused training and workshops to help dessiminate the best practices we learn from _you_.
