Open Collective and Donations

Hi Guys,

I Just went to send some money over via opencollective like I used to use (I’m a bit late :grimacing:) and I when I was logging in on their site I found this and similar posts about them closing down :thinking:.

Now I’m no jargon-monkey so I think it might just refer to an internal suppor programme they had in place but I thought I should check before I send money into the ether and not actually help you guys out at all.

(P.S. I’m not talking $10000000000 but I do like to give my bit when I can.)

Thank you for supporting us @Thorah!

Open Collective indeed underwent some changes, but none of that that affect us. The Open Source Collective still functions.

From their official statement:

  • Open Source Collective (OSC) a US-based 501(c)(6) fiscal host that only hosts open source software-related projects and which continues to operate in good health.

I hope this clears things up for you.

Ah OK. No that’s fine I just thought I’d check. Thanks @Ramses for clearing that up for me.
