Can you expand on the last bit? Is it common for sponsorship not to go to the actual developers working on the project and getting eaten by middle layers of bureaucracy?
- oefrha 6y agoI never saw a dime and never looked into spending details, but to the best of my knowledge, sponsorship money largely went to hardware for infrastructure; then some went to sponsoring physical meetups, e.g. reimbursing travel expenses of team members who attended FOSDEM. It’s not a lot of money so if everyone gets paid I suppose it would only be a token amount.
