@bjoyce3 & @alex-r-bigelow do you have time to do a quick investigation in the next few days?
@alex-r-bigelow set up a test collective. Thank you!
Do you mind inviting @bjoyce3 as well?
Before (?) the festival
Once we're accepted
If we're accepted before the festival starts
If we aren't accepted to a Fiscal Host before the festival
After (?) the festival
@bjoyce3 just sent an invite to your @arizona.edu account... which I'm guessing is ancient. LMK if you have a better address to send to
Progress: Spoke to Mike Strode from the Open Collective Foundation, but they indefinitely paused new project applications. Still looking for alternatives.
https://www.oscollective.org/ for "Open Source Adjacent Communities" could be an option:
Open Source Adjacent Communities
We also consider applications from communities with a strong link to free and open source software. We use the following criteria:
- [ ] Your project must be strongly affiliated with or related to open source, not proprietary technology or any other topics.
Meetups, conferences and other groups
- [ ] should have at least 50 members,
- [ ] should have organized at least 2 events previously,
- [ ] should be able to show a history of activity by members.
As further evidence, you agree to send photo/video documentation of your first event after joining Open Source Collective.

Dear Open Collective Community,
It is with sad hearts that we have heard the news about Open Collective Foundation decision to dissolve, effective December 31. The full content of their announcement, which came as a surprise to us, can be found here, and they have also created an FAQ. We are still grappling with the realities of this decision, which has sent subsequent shock waves through the Open Collective ecosystem and community.
... read the rest at the link above.
I found out about it via an email from OSC (Open Source Collective).
This looks interesting: https://hackclub.com/hcb/
Investigate and start the process, before the festival.
