My prediction; almost no projects will get any substantial funding.
IMHO, there is only one solid way to make money on open source projects as an individual; get involved in promising project and hope to get hired by a company that can commercialize that project.
But unfortunately, the majority of good projects don't have that kind of importance.
@gbraad @lupyuen This is for Sponsors that aren't individual people. GitHub has to make a profit, handle the service and ensure that good results are the outcome.
The fees are a bargain considering that GitHub is providing a service that would be equivalent to a software company.
It will be interesting to see what the developers actually get paid.
@lupyuen "The world runs on open source. It’s not just on our websites; open source is pervasive in our daily lives. However, despite funding through foundations, most open source contributors still do not receive meaningful financial support. This means many developers, and especially those from underrepresented groups, cannot work on open source—or if they do it comes at a personal cost. Our goal is to make careers in Open Source possible."
I believe they don't understand Open Source. We support improving the open source code that is used by corporations to make closed source code. That's what I read it as. I think the foundations reference includes the FSF and EFF. Double speak and subtitle shots at Foundations that help protect Open Source. They also forgot to capitalize the Proper Noun that was the whole point of the article.
GitHub likely has a big event planned in the future. It could benefit Open Source and FLOSS but it could also harm them. Scanning code to make programming easier and persuading developers to work on certain projects. Perhaps they plan on making a programmer centric business.
@lupyuen disturbing. I'd rather see people burn money... as this is a sign of not being able to move on.
