Getting money -to- the folks building in the Open landscape is not a solved problem...and much thanks to @andrewnez.bsky.social, Ben Nickolls, and @oscollective.org to keep pushing on solving the hard, unglamorous problems that move us ever closer!
So far, we’ve distributed 375 payments to 136 projects – over 80% of the funds already in the hands of maintainers. We’re aiming to distribute the rest this month, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Learn more and get involved: blog.ecosyste.ms/2025/04/04/e...
Ecosystem Funds is Generally Available
Today Open Source Collective and ecosyste.ms are launching Funds supporting 291 Open Source Ecosystems. Unsurprisingly, we call them Ecosystem Funds.
