Questions about Copilot + Open Source Software Hierarchy
liaochris opened this issue · comments
Hi! My name is Chris and I'm writing a thesis on Open Source Software. I'm trying to collect/validate my data and I have two questions for the maintainers of this project.
-
Did maintainers of this project receive free github copilot access on June 2022, as maintainers of popular open source projects? And do project maintainers use Copilot?
The Copilot FAQ says: “GitHub Copilot is free to use for verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open source projects. “
If you don't recall, it might be helpful to check if maintainers are currently eligible (https://github.com/github-copilot/free_signup) -
My thesis is especially focused on understanding hierarchical structures. Is there a publicly available list of of individuals in this project with maintain or admin access in this project? I can only back out who has write access by looking at who has merged PRs.
Happy to chat further if you have questions, and thank you for your time!
