The first fellowship pilot will run throughout 2025, and we will evaluate it on an ongoing basis. Based on these evaluations, our experiences running the fellowship, and feedback from participants, we’ll determine how to expand and grow the program for a stronger and healthier open source ecosystem.In particular, we’re aware that the different fellowship options — necessary to accommodate maintainers’ particular situations — will need to be evaluated differently. With the support of an external evaluator and researcher, we’ll be able to better understand the impact and success of the different approaches.We look forward to sharing the results and hope they’ll inform future endeavors in this area.Kind regards,LarsAm 03.08.2024 um 16:27 schrieb Ethan C <echaroenpitaks@gmail.com>:Hi, I think Gregory is already applying to this programme.On Sat, Aug 3, 2024, 09:21 lars.sonchocky-helldorf@hamburg.de <lars.sonchocky-helldorf@hamburg.de> wrote:Hi there,this is no spam, on heise.de a german IT-news portal I found this article (Google translated):Greg, I guess this is your chance!Kind regards,Lars--Gregory Casamento
