that’s not good at all :-\
In other words it might be good if more people starting donating regularly to their favorite opensource projects.
I just added them to my list of regular donations. It is sad to see stuff like this getting defunded.
I just made my first donation and will do so each month. The hellscape of baked in advertisements, data mining, and endless monthly subscriptions will take everything over if we don’t keep up the support.
first paragraph
“The Open Source Lab (OSL) at Oregon State University helps run infrastructure for Debian, GNOME, Inkscape, LineageOS, Alpine Linux, and many other open-source projects. The group is now asking for help securing new sponsors, or it will have to “shut down later this year.””
love me some alpine.
" The Open Source Lab has operated for 22 years as hosting infrastructure for various open software projects, in partnership with Oregon State University’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. It provided mirroring and hosting projects for Mozilla, the Apache Software Foundation, and the Linux kernel for many years, and currently runs infrastructure for “over 500 free and open source projects from all over the world.”"
I never head of this joint. how prolific with their portfolio of greatness. It would be sad if we could not sustain this place
I also sent some donation to them, though it would be good if we could somehow track their $250k goal’s progress
Meta could donate them a 250k out their pocket change
But why would they ,the evil bastards
