Anybody I know have experience with OpenCollective? I’m interested in trying to move elementary to a more community/nonprofit legal structure but I’m trying to wrap my head around how expenses work. Like how do I actually pay out digital ocean? Does some individual need to pay first and get reimbursed? There’s no direct way to pay expenses?

@danirabbit if you are in France hello asso allows to get funding in a clear legal way. A lot of non profit org here -1901 french law- are benefitting if this clear and simple access to simple funding

Where financial contribution is ethic -you pay what you want, if you want-.
Opencollective is just another financial project, from 5 to 10% if your income - opaque taxes - and supposed to be closed soon.

@christophguillermet @danirabbit
Clearing out some inaccuracies in this toot and adding some information:
- OpenCollective not closing soon (not sure where that's coming from?)
- The platform is (since 2+ years) owned by a non-profit (Open Finance Consortium, US-based) and has always been Open-Source (MIT)

@Betree @danirabbit closing soon is a mention by Claude ia that was puzzling and need inquieries. But for me, if @danirabbit is in France i would avoid any strange golden net project. Ethic can bé completly explained by comparing ulule versus kisskissbankbank forca clear understanding of really altruists projects, and web 2.0 commercial projet
