#opensource is broken, we love it, we maintain it, but the lifestyle around it can be a burden, we made this film with @drips.network to try and highlight the discourse but also the love that exists The Broken System of Open Source (And How We're Fixing It) youtu.be/0XqwXj0Rrx0

Open source is the invisible infrastructure that powers the internet, but the system for funding it is broken Check out our short film, shot at @devcon.org feat @lftherios.bsky.social, Carl Cervone, Chris Lema & Slobo.eth Shot by @sjcreativestudio.bsky.social #opensource #devs #funding #devcon

A real solution for #opensource? People argue open source is free, why should I pay for it. But so many platforms exist on a bedrock of open source. Imagine you're a #developer, you create something because it was a fun problem to solve, but then you're expected to maintain it... forever!

Today is the last day to apply for the @fundingthecommons.bsky.social builder residency in Buenos Aires. Don't miss out on this great opportunity! 🗓 Oct 24 – Nov 14, 2025 🔗 fundingthecommons.io/builderresid...

Better late than never...Happy belated Birthday @ethereum.org 🎂🎉 www.youtube.com/shorts/rJKct...

Is #opensource dying? You hear it a lot when companies put formerly open source projects behind paywalls or translation entirely away like certain #3dprinter manufactures. But Open Source remains one of the strongest and most inspirational communities out there: youtube.com/shorts/SxoDz...

The world of funding in #opensource is potentially about to change with #deepfunding and @dripsnetwork.bsky.social excited to see what comes. youtu.be/XohO_RQ_2qA?...

A great opportunity to learn more about Deep Funding, the state of funding within #FOSS and the awesome work that Drips is doing to solve the issues of under appreciated maintainers and developers in the FOSS ecosystem. lu.ma/pgtownhall6?... #opensource

Licenses are increasingly the least interesting part about software. I’ll use closed source if the protocol is open! Governance is very different than compensation. Drips Network is interesting www.drips.network

Have you found Open Source Meetups in your area useful? If so what did you like most? #opensource #OSS #FOSS

Drips.network is a fantastic tool for funding your open source dependencies and seeing how that support can split across the #opensource network. Even better now that they've created a fully customisable embeddable share button to shout and share that support.

#opensource is invaluable here’s a fantastic list of accounts to follow go.bsky.app/VpVujwk
