Sovereign Tech Fund introduces fellowship pilot program

The Sovereign Tech Fund (STF) has announceda fellowship program to support "the dedicated individuals who keepour digital infrastructure running":

Over the past two years, STF has successfully contracted over 40 FOSSprojects, enhancing their technical sustainability through targetedmilestones. However, the activities of maintainers, who often work onmultiple FOSS projects, are hard to quantify for funding applications,as the demands and challenges vary and can change quickly. This iswhere the fellowship for maintainers comes into play.

According to the fellowshippage the STF plans to fund five fellowships, beginning in thefourth quarter of this year, for a period of 12 months.
