However, the activities of maintainers, who often work on multiple FOSS projects, are hard to quantify for funding applications, as the demands and challenges vary and can change quickly. This is where the fellowship for maintainers comes into play. According to the fellowship page the STF plans to fund five fellowships, beginning in the fourth quarter of this year, for a period of 12 months. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://lwn.net/Articles/984266/ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet UK HUB @ hub.uk.erb.pw (1337:1/100) .
