Hi!
I am Sergei, a developer from Siberia who lives in Berlin now.

⚠️if you're here to sponsor @testcontainers project
consider https://github.com/sponsors/testcontainers instead :)

You may know me from some projects like @testcontainers, @reactor or even Jabel =)

OSS is an essential part of my life (although it is also 100% of my official work time at the moment 😅) and, while some of you may think that it is full of joy, it takes a significant amount of personal time and power to give back to the community.

As I mentioned in one of the talks I gave, the point of OSS is not to earn money, but to give back. Although some may consider giving back... in a form of money 😊

And, since sometimes I talk at conferences using my family's budged to travel & stay (e.g. DockerCon EU 2018, or Devoxx Morocco 2019), that's what motivated me to join the GitHub Sponsors program, and such support would be highly appreciated, because... it goes back to the community and the circle closes :)

... and the stickers. Because everyone loves stickers 😂

P.S. if you wish to make a one-time gift, you can subscribe and then unsubscribe from future payments.
I will appreciate it too! 😊
