title: 'Welcome to Maintainer Month!' | ||
theme1: 'Finding the joy and human creativity in open source maintenance.' | ||
theme2: 'To support maintainers, ask them what they actually need.' | ||
theme1: 'Every open source project starts with a human spark of creativity, of curiosity, of problem-solving. Sharing software is an act of hope and generosity.

theme2: 'Maintainers keep the software ecosystem running, but they’re humans, not machines. Do you know who the maintainers you rely on are? Do you know what kind of support those individuals actually need? Ask what you can do for them, and be ready to listen.' | ||
