One thing I have never been a fan of is sponsoring software projects using GitHub Sponsors page. And there are lots of individual developers that rely on it.

I have been using OpenCollective to support software projects. I wonder if there will be more developers open to using alternative platforms away from GitHub to support their work

#oss #GitHub #sponsors #opencollective

OpenCollectiveがゲストで支援しようとするとカード払いの場合にエラーになるという話があったので、実験も兼ねてメディアストレージ支援をゲストでカード払いでやってみたのですが、問題なく進めました。
なにが条件でエラーになるんだろう…?
ちなみにブランドはMasterCardです。

Some of you asked me to open a #OpenCollective account for donations.

Unfortunately, #Sengi doesn't meet their Open Source Collective's eligibility requirements (the source code isn't hosted under an organizational repository currently). So it's not possible for now. 😕

@postmarketOS Do you have any plans to enable any donation methods beside #opencollective which is currently preparing collaborating with #persona #KYC? It would be nice to be able to send money directly to an #IBAN account or via some not-us-based #crowdfunding platform like #steady.
Ok, so it seems OpenCollective is joining the dark side by their decision to work with Persona.

It seems one can only donate to CoMaps using OpenCollective or Liberapay, but using Liberapay still puts money in their OpenCollective bank account.

*sigh* 😫
