Make open source sustainable


Make open source sustainable
The Issue
What is open source?
Open-source software is the essential infrastructure of the internet stack. Open source is not a disposable software. Just like music and art are created by artists, open-source software is an important piece of work created by talented developers. However, open-source is undervalued and unappreciated by many internet companies.
We want to let everyone know about the importance of open-source and change the current situation where it's not appropriately funded.
Let's build the world where open-source software is valued by every person and make OSS development the new norm together!
Solution
We will fix this situation by collecting money from companies that take open source for granted. We've collected over $40,000 from large corporations, but this is not enough to make a sustainable open source ecosystem.
We need your help so we can persuade even more companies to fund open source.
