We’re officially opening Maintainer Retainer—pairing Cardano projects with paid community maintainers to strengthen releases, documentation, and governance compliance across the ecosystem.
How it works
-
Projects apply. Submit the interest form so we understand your repos, scope, skills needed, and current governance readiness. → Projects: https://forms.clickup.com/9015279944/f/8cnmga8-36875/JR3AS90ED33OUOMN1O
-
Maintainers apply. Engineers complete the maintainer form and select the projects they’re excited to support. This is coming post project forms.
-
Match & interview. The Open Source Committee (OSC) and project leads shortlist candidates and run interviews to confirm technical fit, availability, and alignment with Intersect’s open-source governance policy.
-
Engage & contract. Selected nominees complete a short evaluation period, then support the project under a 12-month full-time contract—focusing on backlog health, release cadence, documentation quality, and instituting governance policy & compliance.
