In this episode of the Mechanical Ink podcast, Schalk is joined by Abby and Naytri from GitHub. In this enlightening and far-reaching conversation, we cover some of the new initiatives launched by GitHub, such as GitHub Accelerator and the GitHub Fund. We also cover enhancements to GitHub Sponsors, what GitHub learned from the OS Grants project in GitHub, and how companies and open-source can aid in creating opportunities for creators in developing countries.

We also touch on the social aspects of GitHub, how GitHub has managed to keep the platform largely healthy and welcoming, and how we can do even better. We also discuss the importance of community and giving tools to community managers working on the platform. Abby also shares information about the maintainer's program at GitHub and other initiatives such as maintainer month. This is the episode for you if you are running an open-source project on GitHub.

If you want to learn more about the GitHub open-source maintainer program, please get in touch with Abby at GitHub.
