How are you monetizing your project if you're an #opensource #foss maintainer? Something that's making money, even if it's a little.

Do comment if you're making money through other means or if you haven't made any money but would like to.

I appreciate the boosts & will follow 🙏

@viktor I’ve been accepting donations for years. I’m up to zero dollars.

@colincogle thanks for replying Colin. Donations can be a challenge. Are your projects developer tools or dependencies, or end-user apps?

@viktor They’re mostly PowerShell modules, so more likely to be used by developers. That being said, I never expected to make a dime, so I’m meeting my goals.

@colincogle I see; I understand. Hopefully, that can be improved and exceed your expectations.
