Funding is the obvious biggest issue with open source sustainability. But it's arguably not the lowest hanging fruit. Because it seems to be a hard problem. Perhaps even a wicked problem.
- quadrangle 8y agoYes, exactly. It's the public-goods funding dilemma. The one that has only ever been really solved by mandatory taxation (with all its problems). Snowdrift.coop is trying to (lacking resources itself for the same reasons) build an actual solution for as-good-as-we-can while being fully voluntary (unlike taxes).
