Build Awesome (11ty)The ’possum is roaming wild: Eleventy is becoming Build Awesome.
Same open source core, a much bigger future. Watch our fun video and back us on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fontawesome/build-awesome?ref=b4hezh
Gregory 🇨🇦 (Open to work)@11ty I have a question that may seem stupid (or maybe hasn't been thought about). Why don't you use some (or all) of the balance in the Eleventy open collective for this?
I believe that the open collective is there to support Eleventy, so why not support it in what it's becoming.

cc: @fontawesome who may be better suited to answer this question
(I'm happy to post this as a Kickstarter comments if that's a better place, just let me know)
Zach Leatherman@gMoon A fair question and I wish it were possible! Unfortunately our fiscal sponsor on Open Collective would not allow Kickstarter contributions as expenses (as Kickstarter by definition is prepayments), per the documentation: https://docs.oscollective.org/for-hosted-member-projects/spending-money-and-getting-paid/expense-policies-and-limitations
Christian Alder@zachleat @gMoon I have a question related to this if you don’t mind; what actually happens with the Open Collective?
Will it continue as it has been, or gradually stop, now that the project has renamed and is being funded by kickstarter and pro-tier subs? (That’s probably an over-simplified way of looking at it - but to be clear I’m not asking with any snark)
@hejchristian @gMoon The Open Collective will continue, and we’ll continue to use the funds for the open source project and community expenses. I’ll post more about this on the 11ty Blog soon
@hejchristian @gMoon I’d encourage folks to support the Kickstarter if they want to chip in! (which I believe you may have already done, so thank you!)
