Three weeks ago, we kicked off the first-ever #Maintainathon at the United Nations, and memories are beginning to settle in. Together with this group of highly experienced open source maintainers, we created a special moment at #UNOpenSourceWeek.

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.

Maintainers and institutions working on the challenges of maintaining critical digital systems together. That's the Maintainathon at UN Open Source Week, now in its second year. Jaime Rodríguez-Guerra is part of the delegation, and it’s so good to see these conversations happening at this level.

Wrapping up, Adriana Groh spoke about how the unique value of the #maintainathon was not only in the individual sessions, but rather in the exchanges that took place: people comparing experiences, sharing practical approaches of what worked for them, and finding others facing the same challenges.

We were also glad to welcome Parliamentary State Secretary Thomas Jarzombek, who joined for part of the #maintainathon and took time to speak with some maintainers from our delegation.
