Just learned about #opencollective , and found this short introductory video useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBU5fSILAe8

Apparently various #opensource projects can be funded from there:

Fabian, if you read this, thank you for the donation received via OpenCollective.

Your support is really meaningful to the LiberaForms team.

Is there a standard suggested Donation Tiers chart for Open Source projects? Like, how much money should be donated in order to get a shout out on social media, or to get free stickers, etc?
#github #opencollective #patreon #opensource

@yurnidiot #SocialCoop is funded by member subscriptions, through #OpenCollective

The minimum is £1/month ($1.29/month), but many members voluntarily contribute more.

@zkat It's very transparent on the #OpenCollective side of things though.

Adding past work to a project's Open Collective page as Invoices, even though they won't ever be paid, just to show that past work did actually get completed. I'm wondering how much you would realistically charge for a year-long refactoring/restructuring project of a large multi-repo project/suite?
#opencollective #refactoring #consulting

@evan Maybe it fits an #OpenCollective "project" (if #CosocialCa is over there)?

@jaystephens There are a few, you can check some examples from the #FediParty list https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/wiki/Collectively-owned-instances or on #OpenCollective https://opencollective.com/search?q=mastodon&type=COLLECTIVE

So there's basically no insight into what's happening—which apparently is next to nothing.

Perhaps the most frustrating bit of all of this is what of the five Trustees, four were completely unaware that the Open Collective's questions had not been answered.

@opencollective: How can we fix this? We (#Gentoo) want to join, but our Trustees are not sufficiently engaged to make it happen.

Un altre consell que donaria, aquest per la gent que s'està plantejant de crear noves instàncies de Mastodon o del Fediverse, és utilitzar l'eina #opencollective :opencollective:

Des d' @anartist la utilitzem i funciona genial. Beneficis:

- Pots acceptar donacions i utilitzar-les per pagar els gastos
- No has de ser cap entitat fiscal
- No has de crear un compte bancari

This week's donation went to KeePassXC. It's a fantastic FOSS password manager that you can find in your repo; a PPA; Flatpak and an App Image. You can use it on Linux; BSD; Mac and Windows. The code is licensed using GPLv3.0.

https://keepassxc.org/

The team has a presence on Mastodon and Matrix:

https://app.element.io/#/room/#keepassxc:mozilla.org (user's channel)

https://app.element.io/#/room/#keepassxc-dev:mozilla.org (developer's channel)

They accept donations through a variety of methods including FOSS options such as Open Collective and Liberapay.

@fortescue #opencollective also works ;-)

@ernest Have you considered setting up a donation pot at #OpenCollective?

@brentsimmons Re «file with the state of Washington, set up a bank account, start keeping track of income and expenses, separate NetNewsWire stuff from my stuff, start paying taxes», all of this can be avoided by using #OpenCollective. Excess funds can also be donated to other projects.

Doesn't change your overall conclusion, but seemed worth mentioning.

Uh, vollkommen übersehen, dass man social.cologne finanziell unterstützen kann (und sollte!)

So ein Server kostet Geld. Danke für deinen Support!
