Fwd: Maintaining the Maintainers 🛠️ Open Collective is employing FLOSS developers
I hope you find this information relevant & informative. === Creating a Healthier Ecosystem Open Source Collective was created to help build a healthier and more sustainable ecosystem for open source creators. And a big part of that is personal health. Many open source projects that we love and rely on are maintained and updated by a small group of people, or sometimes just one. The tasks they need to do vary, but the demands on their time can build up fast. Some maintainers might want to devote more time to this kind of work, but fear losing the healthcare and benefits that come with their regular job. This is why OSC is now looking to employ maintainers on select sufficiently-funded projects, providing them with access to things like paid annual leave, healthcare, and sick leave. That way, they can spend more time maintaining their project, and supporting the wider community.
