The #maintainathon is underway at #UNOpenSourceWeek 2026 in NYC. For the 2nd year, we & the UN Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies are convening #opensource maintainers and institutional actors to work on the challenge of maintaining increasingly complex critical digital systems.

Good morning from New York! Open source is built, maintained, and used around the world. Strengthening the critical software components we all rely on takes international collaboration, and there's no better place to move that work forward than Open Source Week at the United Nations.

Today in Paris: the official kick-off of the #DigitalCommons EDIC's first activities. There were sessions on the EU #TechSovereigntyPackage, on why Member States built a shared instrument for digital commons, as well as three working tracks: Connect, Deploy, and Maintain.

UN Open Source Week is just around the corner, and we're excited to return to NYC 🗽 Here’s where you can find us throughout the week, find all the direct links in the thread:
