We’re kicking off the 2025 maintain-a-thon today at UN Open Source Week! It’s taking place in the Economic and Social Council Chamber of the UN in New York. This is perfect because maintaining public digital infrastructure is fundamental to economic and social development.
The maintain-a-thon follows an unconference format. The FOSS experts from our delegation proposed core topics grounded in real-world experience with open source maintenance.

They’ll be joined by over 70 registered participants, ready to collaborate, learn, and share. Our goal: for every participant to leave with both a “Today I Learned” insight and a “Tomorrow I Will” action, concrete steps that strengthen not just individual projects, but the global open source ecosystem as a whole.
Why is this important? Because a healthy, collaborative open source ecosystem is essential to safeguarding digital sovereignty, innovation, and economic resilience.
