Announcing FLOSS/fund: $1M per year for free and open source projects (floss.fund)
 
 

We are excited to announce the launch of a dedicated fund aimed at providing financial assistance to Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FOSS/FLOSS) projects globally, with an annual commitment of $1 million. I will use the FOSS acronym in this post hereafter.

...

For us, FLOSS/fund is about hacker goodwill, reciprocity, and common sense business strategy. We invite you to apply for funding. If you would like to understand the motivations behind this, a bit of storytelling lies ahead.

...

To initiate and give this experiment a serious shot, FLOSS/fund will accept funding requests from projects through a publicly accessible funding.json file hosted on their respositories or websites. This file is not meant to convey everything there is to knowโ€”an impossible taskโ€”but to solicit interest and communicate enough to ensure discoverability which would not be possible otherwise. Refer to the funding.json docs to know more.

Applications that come through to the FLOSS/fund will be indexed and published on the dir.floss.fund directory / portal, making them publicly discoverable by anyone interested in supporting projects. This is going to be an interesting experiment. Fingers crossed!
