This is great. They should also consider spending money on less mainstream or well-adopted Clojure projects.
After all, if an open source project hits off with users without the money, it clearly didn't need the money. While who knows what really great things die because the authors needed to focus on stuff that pays them directly instead.
- bpringe 6y agoI agree. This is being done currently by the Clojurists Together organization. They fund 4 open source Clojure projects per quarter, and based on the desires of their members (anyone who pays into it), I think they fund 50% established projects and 50% speculative.
- dantiberian 6y agoHey! Secretary for Clojurists Together Foundation here. This is roughly correct. It's not a strict 50/50 split from quarter to quarter as it depends on applications and what our members are looking for, but we try to fund a mix of established and experimental projects. This quarter we funded Calva and clj-kondo which are more established, and O'Doyle Rules and ClojisR which are more experimental.
