A lot of open-source projects don't fail over time because the idea was bad. They fail because maintaining them is a lonely journey, and finding a successor is incredibly difficult.

We saw this recently when the ngneat organization vanished from GitHub, leaving critical tools like ngneat/spectator missing from the Angular ecosystem. If we do not know why, when such a major project disappears overnight, the whole community feels the impact.

That’s why a group of Angular community members and I have teamed up to create a new GitHub organization dedicated to collective open-source governance and long-term maintenance. The GitHub Organization, OpenNG Foundation, is still empty.

Our priority will be to fork and revive key, unmaintained Angular projects to ensure they stay secure, updated, and community-driven.

Gerome how can I get involved?

- Take care of abandoned projects - Help maintainers struggling to find contributors/maintainers - Incubate new projects if needed - Provide guidance about project maintenance standards (to be more specific than GitHub existing wonderful documentation on it).
