We work with the Maintainers community in a range of ways. We host monthly maintenance accountability sessions, network meet-ups to share knowledge, and more. We love spotlighting Maintainers, sharing interviews and other maintenance conversations on our blog. You can join our community channels to learn about or share maintenance, repair and care happenings — think of it as your local grocery store’s bulletin board. We also love to meet up with maintenance practitioners, researchers, and community organizers for a virtual coffee chat to discuss how our projects align, share strategies, meta-maintenance and more.
