FLOSS/fund: No Strings Attached Funding for Open Source Projects
Approved
Session Description
My talk is going to be about FLOSS fund, which is an initiative from Zerodha to support Free/Libre Open Source projects. The aim of FLOSS fund is to donate up to $1 million annually to support FOSS projects. It also introduces a new spec called funding.json to help solve the discoverability problem with open source funding.
The talk will primarily focus on
- - Why FLOSS fund was created
- - The problems that we are trying to solve
- - funding.json as a decentralized mechanism for discovering projects that need funding
- - Some long term goals of this project
I will also briefly showcase the FLOSS fund portal where open source projects can apply for funding.
