Post Proposal: We are here for the long run: growing a sustainable Hoodie community #95

Closed gr2m closed 8 years ago

gr2m commented 8 years ago

This blog post is about money in Open Source in general, and Hoodie on Open Collective in specific. I’d like to elaborate on the challenges of sustaining an open source project while keeping it independent and how Open Collective potentially solves a few of the hard problems (receiving money without legal entity, transparency & value/exposure for sponsors). I’d also take a step farther back and mention the challenges of introducing money to a voluntary environment in general (e.g. crowding out of motivation, lots of existing research on this). Besides the money-receiving part, I’d also like to explain how we plan to use money from sponsors / backers at Hoodie.

The goal is give some good insights for all open source projects out there, but at the same time market Hoodie’s Open Collective and attract sponsors & backers.
