GitHub launches Maintainer Community to connect with peers and preview upcoming features

GitHub is creating a private space for open source maintainers to connect with their peers, preview upcoming features, and learn from each other. The Maintainer Community is an exclusive community where maintainers can have access to private events, early access to betas and previews, and regular workshops that focus on open source best practices.

To join the community, maintainers can request an invite on GitHub. The first Maintainer Community workshop, “Personal ecology for open source maintainers: self-care and avoiding burnout,” will be on Wednesday, April 5 at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET.

The Maintainer Community is an opportunity for open source maintainers to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and get the support they need to continue their work. It’s also a great opportunity to network and collaborate with other maintainers.
