that got me thinking, is there any kind of statistic for average maintainer age for major FOSS projects and libraries? Is the influx of new maintainers still going strong, or should we expect a really huge problem in the next few decades?

Also, what are some good resources if you want to start with maintaining or collaborating on something, if you have zero experience with the dev side of FOSS ecosystem?

That box story right below the original message is hilarious! 😂 It’s always good to bring up happy memories after someone passed away. Good way to mourn, IMO.

I use Postgres at my home and at work. I thank him and other unknown heroes. He will live forever with Postgres.

Well shit, Open Source Bus Theory has some merits

Rest in Peace

Rest in peace
