"In 2022, I left Google in search of a sustainable approach to open source
maintenance. A year later, I was a full-time independent professional open
source maintainer. Today I’m announcing the natural progression of that
experiment: Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio
of critical Go projects.
I’m joined by Nicola Murino, who's been maintaining golang.org/x/crypto/ssh for
us since last summer, and by Dominik Honnef, the maintainer of Staticcheck and
Gotraceui. They are now Geomys’ first ✨ Associate Maintainers. ✨ The team is
completed by Matilde Dal Zilio, our Administrative Director who's been helping
make this journey possible from the beginning.
Geomys launches with a robust portfolio of popular, foundational open-source Go
projects:
* the crypto/... and golang.org/x/crypto/... packages in the Go standard
library, co-maintained by me and the Google Go team
* the filippo.io/... crypto packages, including filippo.io/edwards25519
* x/crypto/ssh, the Go SSH implementation that runs many CI and deployment
systems, maintained by Nicola
* Staticcheck, the high-signal low-noise static analyzer enabled by default in
vscode-go, maintained by Dominik
* Gotraceui, a tool for visualizing and analyzing Go execution traces,
maintained by Dominik
* bluemonday, the popular HTML sanitizer
* age, the file encryption tool, library, and format
* mkcert, a tool to generate local development certificates
Every company that was previously a client of mine is now a Geomys client,
paying the same monthly retainer for the professional maintenance of their
critical dependencies, and for direct access to the expertise of maintainers.
What’s changed is that they are now supporting more projects, and have access
to more maintainers."
