Bezos could cover my costs easily, yet he is not stepping up to help. It seems presumptuous to say that these companies should donate just because they could afford it. As distasteful as it seems, the open source community really needs a better funding model.

- viraptor 3y agoThis is not "not stepping up". These things take time. > AWS S3 - We have been in contact with AWS throughout the week and awaiting a response to meet with the OSS team.

Cloudflare could come in and cover these costs and write them off as donations or something similar. For AWS they’d probably not even make a material difference in the accounting software. I think you’ve got some deep seated angst against the Uber wealthy (join the club) but I never mentioned bezos. I mentioned these companies sponsoring selfishly for the goodwill it would bring. I’ll try to make my case better next time.
