@destatis Sehr interessant wäre für mich die regionale Verteilung und die Entwicklung. In Teilen der Ost-Bundesländer ist zumindest der Missbrauch dramatisch höher, wie das @katapultmagazin mal dargestellt hat.

Dear FOSS maintainers,

here’s a list of funding programs currently accepting proposals for maintenance work:

Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/mechko/awesome-maintainer-funding

GitHub: https://github.com/mechko/awesome-maintainer-funding

Thanks to everyone who helped crowdsource it! I’ll keep it updated, issues and PRs are very welcome

@odrotbohm Good point! Are you aware of employers with open positions and where maintainers are free to use the majority of their working time for maintenance? I‘d like to look at systems that are actually somewhat ‘accessible’.

@seabass @sovtechfund Nice, wasn’t aware of that one for the Clojure community. Thanks!

Dear FOSS Community ,

I’m researching Open Source funds and support programs that directly pay FOSS maintainers or contributors (not just offering mentorship), similar to the Fellowship program by @sovtechfund

I’m especially looking for programs that:
- are aimed at FOSS maintainers or contributors (not only students),
- focus on paid support and
- offer funding for at least 3 months.

If you know of any funds, organizations, or initiatives like this, please comment (or boost). Thanks
