FOSDEM Maintainer Unconference 💜 GitHub
A morning for maintainers, by maintainers - hosted by GitHub ☕
Sticking around Brussels after FOSDEM? Join us Monday morning for coffee, pastries, and real conversations about what it means to maintain open source in 2026.
This is an unconference - the agenda is shaped by you. We'll use your registration responses to select discussion topics and find facilitators in advance, so we can dive right into the conversations that matter most.
Whether you want to dig into burnout, swap strategies for handling PRs, or dream about what maintainer tooling should look like - this is your space.
