Great initiative! I've been thinking about sustainable funding models for OSS for a while now.

It could be a game-changer. I hope this encourages more people to contribute to OSS.

I'm concerned about the influence of big corporations on OSS. How can we minimize this?

@user5 We need to promote transparency and an open development process to minimize the influence.

What about small open source projects? Can they benefit from this as well?

@user4 Yes, I believe so. The funding models should be flexible enough for small projects too.

Does anyone have experience with crowdfunding for OSS? How did it work out for your project?
