I am tremendously grateful for open source, as it’s had such a huge impact on my career. That’s one of the reasons I’m so happy that Posit has committed to the @opensourcepledge.com. Read about our contributions to non Posit projects at posit.co/blog/posit-o....

Nooo! There’s a much easier way: @cranberrysoss.bsky.social

This is how you #thankthemaintainers! 👏👏

the first jars of Cranberry sOSS are arriving now! Send us pictures of you and your jars in interesting places! You will gain fame as someone who cares about Open Source maintainers

Look, we're not here to tell you what to do with your lives, but when El Reg speaks, we listen... #thankthemaintainers

It's ~Thanksgiving, so let's #thankthemaintainers together 🫂 First up, @magnushi.bsky.social, CEO of @sanity.io, with a special shout out to @citizenofnowhe.re, creator of @motion.dev Tell us what OSS project/maintainer you're thankful for, or show your support by buying some @CranberrysOSS.com 👀

Cranberry sOSS can be a yummy addition for your Thanksgiving table this year. 😋🦃 itsfoss.com/cranberry-so...

The SaaS Pegasus Black Friday sale is live! The unlimited license is 50% off ($500 savings). This is a rare deal. I don’t believe in the growth hack thing of having fake discounts running perpetually. I only do sales once a year. If you've been thinking about grabbing Pegasus, this is the time.

Here, @sourav666.bsky.social takes an in-depth look at @mirandaheath.website's report on maintainer burnout in Open Source. Today, (just like everyday) is a good day to #thankthemaintainers...

Just out now: @mirandaheath.website’s post about maintainer burnout, summarizing her newly published study on the topic… 1/2

Preparing my talk for JSConf JP and I finally drew my mental venn diagram about how Node.js development works 🤪

Hey, cool shirt @w3cj.com! Where can we get one?

recommitted to @opensourcepledge.com at @val.town for 2025! very pumped to support projects like zod, fastify, codemirror, unified, and esm.sh with real 💸 as well as positive vibes. blog.val.town/oss-pledge

Exciting news! Today, we announced the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund: an initiative to provide consistent, transparent, long-term support for the developers who make Rust possible. Supporting maintainers = supporting Rust’s future. Learn more: rustfoundation.org/media/announ...

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Want to play a big part in a small team aiming to spread the joy of programming? If you love writing English and Typescript, consider joining @val.town in Brooklyn to work with friendly, down-to-earth people who take Open Source sustainability seriously. opensourcepledge.com/jobs/

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Today is a good day to support @python.org 🫡

Who's looking out for maintainers? @antithesis.com, that's who! Thanks for re-upping with @opensourcepledge.com 🙏 antithesis.com/blog/2025/os...

What a great post from @opensourcepledge.com member @zerodha.com, who are giving $1 million to Open Source projects. 🙏 “FOSS projects that the world depends on ought to receive financial backing as the norm, [and] collective societal recognition is owed to maintainers.” floss.fund/blog/second-...

New social icon for @opensourcepledge.com spotted on @pydantic.dev's website. Lookin' sharp! 👀

not only is HTTP Toolkit a great piece of software, they also pay the maintainers they depend on 🥲❤️

Another year of paying #opensource maintainers for their hard work 🦾 alongside the rest of the OpenSourcePledge.com#opensourcebusinesses, and to celebrate: we're back up on the NASDAQ tower in Times Square!

Day 1 of Pledge Year 2. Good day to ask your CEO why your company isn't on this billboard too

one year of paying Open Source maintainers ✨❤️ consider mentioning the Open Source Pledge to your employer, even if you don't work in software

A year ago, @sentry.io launched the Open Source Pledge, with one singular goal: get maintainers paid. A key pillar of the Pledge is it’s not a “pledge”, like an IOU. Rather, to join the Pledge, members come with receipts. Here’s why. 🧵

The world depends on Open Source software After joining the @opensourcepledge.com last year, we are increasing our annual commitment to $48,360 for 2025. Take a look at our full 2025 report on which vital projects we're sponsoring and how the money is distributed. voidzero.dev/posts/oss-pl...

We talked with GitHub co-founder @scottchacon.com about how he fell in love with Open Source, how AI is changing software development, and what he’s building next with @gitbutler.com

and it's Open Source!

Do you have an open source project or start-up that you want to feature LIVE on the keynote stage at githubuniverse.com? I want to hear from you! Details here on how you can enter and maybe win a trip to San Francisco: gh.io/zerotomerged #ZeroToMergedContest

This is an *excellent* report. I would highly recommend anybody interested -let alone involved- in open source to read it. 👏

If you haven't yet seen Chad's beautiful and moving video on the Open Source sustainability crisis, now's the best time to do so

Want to get paid to talk, code, and talk about coding? Browserbase is hiring for a unique role combining programming, content creation and community building — and you could proudly work for a pioneer that financially supports the Open Source maintainers they depend on. opensourcepledge.com/jobs/

oh... and another thing: @gitbutler.com just renewed their Pledge membership by posting their 2025 report:

I'm working on a report on the causes of burnout in open source software. If you're a part of the OSS community, I would love to hear your thoughts, either here on Bluesky, or privately via email (see post). Thanks 😊 mirandaheath.website/report-on-bu...

We had a psychology researcher write a 37-page report on burnout in Open Source. Blog post soon, join our Slack to read the report now. join.slack.com/t/opensource...

We talked with GitHub co-founder @scottchacon.com about how he fell in love with Open Source, how AI is changing software development, and what he’s building next with @gitbutler.com

Designed these fun postcards for @buttondown.com to have during @djangocon.us this week!

The @opensourcepledge.com is a good way to give visibility for OSS-supporting companies too. And it’s not mutually exclusive: you’re donating to thanks.dev & @github.com sponsors? It counts towards your OSS pledge score 🙌

In episode 3 of Open Path, @chadwhitacre.com wrestles with DHH's statement to Lex Fridman that “There is no crisis!” in Open Source funding. Along the way he has to confront his own doubts if he's really going to grow @opensourcepledge.com. 🍿🤠 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTcF...

hats off to Astral on recommitting to @opensourcepledge.com and paying even more over the last year than they initially planned. Lots of companies hem, haw, and hand-wring over the future sustainability of OSS, but companies like Astral just GSD 👏👏👏

Exciting to reflect on the the first year of open source funding at Astral — looking forward to another year of growth :) astral.sh/blog/astral-...

Maintainers can't eat code. That's why companies SHOULD (per RFC 2119) join @opensourcepledge.com and #paythemaintainers and not just contribute upstream (which they SHOULD also keep doing!).

Super excited to welcome @sanity.io as the newest Motion sponsor! Sanity have been longtime users of Motion and it's amazing they're helping support its future as a platinum sponsor. Check them out: sanity.io

Another great post from Dries! 👏 “Governments already maintain roads, bridges, and utilities, infrastructure that is essential but not always profitable or exciting for the private sector. Digital infrastructure deserves the same treatment.”
