been enjoying speaking with @tipdotmd @xr0am- 

i've been involved with open source for a very long time (i used to call the free software folk greybeards, now i am one), and one of the biggest things open source faces is: lack of proper funding.

its all fine and dandy to see a developer get hired by red hat (ibm) to spend their days working on cool open source. but what about all the other code that people work on in their spare time?

maintainers rarely get any love until its too late. so i really think something like this solves a huge problem. funding open source developers.

and keep in mind this can be funding anything - from a docs change, to a translatable PO file, to code. all contributions are important, and all really should be rewarded!

Very cool when someone is spot on when it comes to the mission behind @tipdotmd

Thanks @bytebot for sharing and amplifying the message 🙏🏼
