How to talk to your company about sponsoring an open source project

Open source sustainability is a topic that is just starting to get the attention that it deserves. So much of the technology sector is run on software that can be used for free without any further obligation. However, as companies profit from using this software for free, the maintainers of the software often struggle to...

Making your open source project sponsor-ready, Part 1: Companies and trust

Early on, it was a battle to get sponsorship for open source projects. What used to require phone calls and drawn-out discussions has now been streamlined thanks to efforts like Open Collective1 and GitHub Sponsors2. Companies and individuals can now know if a project accepts donations just by looking at the project page on GitHub,...
