Imagine there existed a cooperative dedicated to bringing GNOME forward, and its members worked full time on polishing the ecosystem.

If the designers and engineers announced their projects, and a communication team kept you posted of progress.

Would you throw money at it? And how would you contribute?

@thibaultamartin This matches the vision we have for @snowdrift (Snowdrift.coop).

I happen to be a KDE user (but other family uses GNOME). Anyway, point is: I don't want to just unilaterally donate, I want to have a collective agreement with the widest possible crowd and we all just need to chip in a tiny amount.

That's the vision of crowdmatching that @snowdrift has, and the trouble is just being under-resourced itself in terms of getting launched (help welcome!!)

@wolftune @thibaultamartin @snowdrift snowdrift sounds like a really good way to fund opensource projects. I like that its a co-op!
