I got the shirt from #tidelift for raising the security of several software packages for #Python and #icalendar. This, #rfc5545 is used in so many places to exchange calendar events freely.

You can directly support my work, too: https://open-web-calendar.quelltext.eu/contributing/

Interesting.

I didn't see anything in #Snowdrift suggesting any strategic guidance as to which projects to fund.

#TideLift looked more promising with analysis of projects based on users and security practices to reward maintainers.

Their announcement that they'd been bought by some security company left me uneasy though. Can #enshittification be far behind? Iy seems like something that would be more effective long-term as a co-operative, foundation or nonprofit.

#FOSS #Funding

I just added #RecurringIcalEvents to #Tidelift! The last missing bit was the #security policy. Tidelift is supporting me, should anyone find a vulnerability.

If you use it, you can now fund its development using a Tidelift subscription.

More money flowing into #free #software helps everyone! So: Get out of the vendor lock-in and support me and other open-source maintainers directly ❤️

Supporting Jackson project financially - @cowtowncoder - Medium

First of all, disclaimer: fear not, I am not planning for quarterly pledge drives like NPR. This is only the second time (*) that I have brought up the issue of financial support for any of the OSS…

I completed all the tests to #Tidelift the #opensource #python #package x-wr-timezone.

Tidelift helps your company to secure the supply chain for the free software dependencies of your solutions. It is worth checking out if you care about #foss #sustainability.

#Tidelift doesn't generate any money for my widely and commercially used #Firebase SDK, but the Swag is cool!

@emeric @opensourcepledge “the ones that are the most critical and do a fair share”

That’s not a trivial thing to do – even the what’s “fair” and what’s “critical” can be at odds with one another

Some companies like #Tidelift applied a model like that, some existing government funds like @sovtechfund have theirs

@sovtechfund does as far as I know not distribute any money out of fairness but instead based on the value and necessity of that money in maintaining important projects

Dear #Tidelift, when I filed out your survey, I agreed to receive results. I did not give conscious consent for you to afterwards start spamming me with your marketing mails.

Yeah, I guess you're just another leech making money on #FreeSoftware developers after all.

Nikt nie próbował odgadnąć, a cytat z badania #Tidelift, który miałem na myśli to:

"""
Kończy się na tym, że zajmujesz się wieloma rzeczami tylko dlatego, że trzeba było to zrobić, a nikt inny tego nie robił. Czujesz się na nie odpowiedzialny, praca się kumuluje, i koniec końców, nie masz nawet czasu szukać kogoś do pomocy.

While nobody even tried guessing, the quote from #Tidelift survey I was referring to was:

"""
You end up doing a lot of stuff simply because it needed to be done, and nobody else was doing it. You feel you're responsible for it, the work just keeps piling up, and in the end, you're so busy you don't even have time to try to find co-maintainers.
