Open source is sick. Everyone wants it (both to maintain a successful project, and to use them) until you maintain a popular project for a reasonable time then your realise you're getting used for fuck all value.

We need a healthy way to support open source developers. This isn't working. Companies are taking advantage, and individuals are overwhelmed with choice and have delusional expectations.

It would be cool if The Linux Foundation had a fund to support open-source devs with stuff, like a stipend or hosting costs, kind of like what exists in the hospitality space. I know that this sort-of exists, but it feels distributed amongst a few big companies and is entirely at the whims of their quarterly performance.
