At this rate, the name is starting to become associated with incompetence, so maybe a fork with a new name might be a good idea.
A co-op would make for an interesting business model for a FOSS company. Has this been tried before? Are there any well known cases out there?
- dandellion 6y agoThe atrocious management is the main reason I refuse to donate a cent to Mozilla. I have no problem donating monthly to Blender and Godot, even though I don't use those nearly as much as Firefox. I would love to support the developers if they made a fork that was actually supported by the community.
- sanxiyn 6y agoEspecially problematic is that there is no way to donate to Firefox. None. Neither is there way to donate to Rust. As a result, I donate to Zig, but not to Rust.
- elric 6y agoThe same seems true for many projects under the Apache Software Foundation banner. You can donate to the ASF, but not to (most? many?) individual projects. Might be nice for these types of foundations to update their donations policy. Support project-specific donations, and maybe take some % to support the parent foundation's working.
- mulmen 6y agoI don’t have any negative association with the Firefox name (yet) but I definitely do with the Mozilla name.
