Hi @trapd00r , Could you please explain the type of Copilot access you have? Is it a part of the Student Developer pack? |

No, I got it because I maintain open source projects. |

I am also interested in using co-pilot as someone who works in open source including Drupal. How can i access this is an open source developer on an individual account? |

Hi @Akash1134, I'm experiencing a similar issue. I maintain a fairly popular project called Tridactyl that I know some of your colleagues use on a daily basis. In January and February I got (slightly spammy) emails saying that my access to copilot had been renewed. Today I got an email saying that my access would end soon. I don't really mind losing access, but it would be nice to have a bit more information about why Tridactyl/I no longer qualify :) |

+1 here, still maintaining the same project the only thing I could imagine is that maybe elgibility is calculated by percentile in whatever repository metric is applied, and my little project had been left behind by larger ones :) |

I don't think Microsoft are really that interested in supporting Open Source |

Same thing, looks strange. Sudden email that the free access has expired, although I still maintain and actively develop the same project (24K stars, 5K forks). I don't believe it doesn't fall into "popular" category anymore. What has changed? |

+1 I maintain some fairly large open source projects. Sad to have gotten that email. Was fun while it lasted though! |

Hey @trapd00r According to the FAQ, the free access for open source maintainers is limited to 12 months. So I'm afraid they probably won't renew the offering :( |

I think that there is a bug in GitHub identifying who is a "maintainer" of a project. I can see now that in the web UI GitHub thinks I am a "member" rather than a "maintainer" of sympy:
Yet if I look here you are displayed as a "member" of mockoon rather than a maintainer: Maybe that's why the open source maintainer program does not offer copilot to you: it does not consider you to be a "maintainer" of the project that you maintain. It used to show me as a "maintainer" like it does for this person: |

I was awarded free access to copilot (I guess 12 months ago) but now my access has expired, even though it says in the docs:
I'm still maintaining all the same project so why, and can I have it back?
