Appreciate the additional insight. It wasn't something I gleaned from the blog post. It's something extremely difficult to measure, and open source funding is nebulous in reason and highly inconsistent due to difficulty in gauging value, among other reasons. The flip-question leaves me a little confused. I hope it wasn't asked out of irritation or to be snide, as my question was very much asked in earnest. I've only ever used Sentry through employers who had a subscription. My experience with the product is mostly positive and I'd say that the folks I worked for thought it was a good value.

Not meant to be snide, no. It's something we thought about when allocating our budget: how are projects going to perceive this? Is giving $100 or $500 worse than giving nothing at all? So my question was also asked in earnest! :D Back to your original question, then: > Does $500 reflect the value and developer time savings you've received from the project over the years? I guess the binary answer is yes, though I quite agree with you that it's difficult to gauge value in open source a priori. Thanks for the kind words about Sentry ... and thanks for making Rollup! :)
