I am very honored to be part of the first Sovereign Tech Fellowship program!
This will directly support my work on , and , so expect a lot more changes faster, and also way faster patch reviews.
This is also the first time ever that I have dedicated time to work on fd.o, and I am excited about the possibilities! You can expect blog posts about it in future 😄

You can read more about the amazing program and the other fellows here:

@matk I was actually thinking if we as FDO should do more STF stuff, but maintainers being hired and paid to work on stuff is also great!

I hope this program will be expended upon in the future, because I think this has great potential to get FOSS maintainers on a constant flow of income as they would otherwise do the work in their spare time or whatever.

@karolherbst The STF would certainly not be uninterested... 😉
We can talk to them 🙂

@matk woohoo, congratulations!

@matk this is really great news, and well deserved!
