So freaking excited to launch the Open Source Pledge!!! Companies rely on the work of Open Source maintainers. Those maintainers should get paid, and we're celebrating the companies who do the right thing. Fediverse friends, tell your employer to #paythemaintainers!

And just like this The OpenSource Pledge is launched! We're here to get OSS maintainers paid. #PayTheMaintainers (and if you happy to run into any billboards, share them :))

I have a new T-shirt, you have a new message 📨

I volunteer 250-400 hours each year to contribute and maintain #opensource projects since over a decade, and I intend to continue at least for another decade. Mostly #Rex, #Perl, and #Gentoo, among others.

What I also intend to continue at the same time is to feed my family and pay my bills 😅

#PayTheMaintainers: I now offer 50% off for projects open sourcing our results, or contributing them back #upstream.

See my profile, or ask me for details.

“How to pay #FreeSoftware maintainers comes down to wanting to do it. If you enter the field with a preconception that maintainers don’t want to get paid, or that most maintainers shouldn’t be paid, or that maintainers only merit payment when they agree with your corporate priorities, then it should be no surprise that you find it hard going.

“If […] you find that maintainers generate literally trillions of dollars of value […] you too can #PayTheMaintainers.”

New software license by @getsentry : Functional Source License (FSL) https://blog.sentry.io/introducing-the-functional-source-license-freedom-without-free-riding/

A "Delayed Open Source Publication" (DOSP) license like BUSL, but makes some opinionated choices to ease compliance: 2-year period to open source (Apache 2.0 or MIT) and clarifications around allowed purposes.

The discussion happened in the open: https://github.com/getsentry/fsl.software/issues/4

Proud to support @ernest and #Kbin — moments like what Ernest describes in this post are _exactly_ why I do this work, and why #Fastly (@devs) has a program like #FastForward. Because your contributions to #OpenSource, to the #OpenSocialWeb, shouldn't be stressful moments, and they shouldn't cost you. You should be focused on building.

Alright, my open sourcerors and glitch witches: I need your help :boost_rainbow:

@tidelift – my employer whose rallying cry is Pay The Maintainers! – has launched its second ever Open Source Maintainer Survey.

If you're a maintainer, can you boost and take a few minutes to complete the ~15min survey?

If you're maintainer-adjacent, boosts appreciated!

#introduction
I live in East Somerville and I mostly bike and walk to get around. I'm on the planning committee of Somerville Alliance for Safe Streets.
My dream is a world where people have reasonable car-free options to get around, and a #bettergreaterboston
I mostly tweet about infrastructure, so that'll probably carry over here. I log 311 tickets so that we can have data.
Professionally, I am a product manager at a startup, currently #tidelift #paythemaintainers

If you use Caddy with @ApiPlatform (default), @symfony (default with Symfony Docker), or @laravelphp, this can be beneficial for your business! #PayTheMaintainers

Any companies out there who are willing to sponsor the rewrite of Caddy's FastCGI client? It could use major refactoring to achieve significant performance improvements. https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/3803 - All PHP apps would benefit!
