GitHub Sponsors Profile

Apache Maven is a build tool which is used by the majority of the Java developers over the world. Apache Maven comprises of about 90 source repositories and about 2.2 million lines of code which is maintained by 5-10 active volunteers.
Apache Maven is already a long time on the market but far from ready nor free of bugs which needs a lot of time to keep on track (which is currently not really the case). Apart from bug fixing and making new releases there are a lot of new ideas like the following (far from complete):

Support for new ways of integration testing in Apache Maven (developer Tool) to make development more easier.
Updating blog about the changes and releases we have made etc.
POM Model Version 5.0.0
local Repository Separation
Remote Repository Layout
Build vs. Consumer POM
Project Dependency Tree

Apart from the above I have a lot of side projects like MojoHaus which contains a lot of useful plugins which also need some attention to improve the plugins and make new releases.

Sponsorship is a really nice way to say thanks to the maintainers of open source projects and it doesn't take much.
If you decide to make a sponsoring this will help me to continue my contributions to a large number of projects I'm involved in and of course the community, too.
I would also use a portion of funds received to sponsor other projects/people which helped me in some way.

You can of course cancel your sponsorship at anytime. There will never ever be a question asked about that.
If you are a company or organisation that benefits from my work or maybe others as well, please consider sponsoring, too.
