Open-Source Funding: Do We Need a “No Maintenance” Month?

Read Original

The article discusses the chronic underfunding of open-source software and proposes a 'No Maintenance Month' in December for projects deemed insufficiently funded by their maintainers. This symbolic action aims to raise awareness about the unsustainable model of consuming open-source work without financial support, encouraging better expectations and funding from users and companies.
