    GNU Boot joins FSF fiscal sponsorship program

    [12:02] schestowitz[TR2]

    Projects whose scope and purpose align with the FSF's mission and further mission-related activities can become fiscally sponsored by joining the FSF's Working Together for Free Software Fund. In addition to receiving increased awareness and donations, partners in the fund are able to take advantage of the FSF's incorporated status, organizational capacity, fundraising apparatus, and gover [12:02] schestowitz[TR2] nance infrastructure, without the need to incorporate on their own. Fiscally sponsored projects further benefit from the FSF's trusted reputation in the technical, user freedom, and nonprofit communities. Among the projects represented are GNU Toolchain, GNU Guix, and EmacsConf.

Open Source is built by volunteers! [18:54] schestowitz[TR2] I hear this a lot and it is not only wrong it is *wildly*, obviously wrong. [18:54] schestowitz[TR2] For most modern releases of the Linux Kernel, over 80% of all commits were made by people doing so as part of their job. And its been that way for many years. [18:54] schestowitz[TR2] Similar percentages exist for most high profile Open Source projects. [18:54] schestowitz[TR2] In other words: Linux is, by and large, a corporate project developed by paid professionals on the job. Volunteers make up a small minority of contributions." ● Sep 15 [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] * Current global users: 9 Max: 9 [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] Channel Users Topic [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #home 1 [+nt] [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #meshcore 1 [+Hnrt 50:1h] MeshCore | Repeaters, room servers, companion nodes, LoRa [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #offtopic 1 [+nrt] Everything that isn't Linux | No politics or religion [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #techrights 1 [+nt] [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #hamradio 1 [+Hnrt 50:1h] Amateur radio | HF, VHF/UHF, digital modes, licensing [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #linuxorg 1 [+nt] [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #linux 5 [+Hnrt 50:1h] Linux talk, help, questions [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #gmrs 1 [+Hnrt 50:1h] GMRS | Repeaters, radios, FCC Part 95 [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #channel 1 [+nt] [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] #linux.org 4 [+Hnrt 50:1h] About the linux.org site: forums, articles, bugs, suggestions [21:45] schestowitz[TR2] * End of channel list.
