From YouTube: GitHub Africa Maintainers

Description

Please join us on for an evening of networking, exciting announcements and all the exclusive GitHub news. This month we are focused on Maintainers! Maintainer Month is an opportunity for maintainers to gather and share knowledge and experiences. It’s a time to see how other projects are tackling similar problems. And it’s a time to reflect collectively that the challenges faced aren’t all technical, and the burden on maintainers can come with a lack of boundaries, vacations, or emotional support. Whether you’re celebrating contributions to open source, or reflecting on the particular pains of this line of labor, this is a month to come together.

Hosted by GitHub’s own Martins Ewere and Community co-host and GitHub Star Ruth Ikegah.
