Package managers support our world's infrastructure, but those who build them have more work on their plate then ever. Companies who rely on this work for their revenue should give something back. It's in these companies' interest to keep this tech sustainable.

We are proud to have been sponsoring open source from the beginning. It's a core value of the company, and now it's more important than ever to support maintainers of the packages we all use and enjoy. We wrote a little about it here: blog.ag-grid.com/ag-grid-join...

To celebrate companies that pay maintainers, we've created a new website, featuring @danielroe.dev and folks from @ag-grid.bsky.social, @sanity.io, @sentry.io and other great companies. Let's support the tech we depend on. Here's to the next $7 million! 💃

The Open Source Pledge is a great example of a well run program to help educate companies and nudge them into action. @vlad.website pours so much love into it. We're lucky to count with folks that genuinely care about the long term sustainability story of our shared commons.

A new report from Bloomberg explains why companies should move “from passive consumption to active stewardship” of the Open Source packages they rely on: “you cannot have sustainable code without sustaining the humans who write it (…) if you live in the house, you help fix the roof”.

OSS burnout claims another project. On 2 Apr, an entitled user angrily asked the burned-out maintainer of nvim-treesitter to “go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people”. The maintainer replied “OK” — and archived the repo, stopping development of nvim-treesitter.

Open Source Burnout Claims Another Project

Yet another OSS maintainer quits because of burnout. To fix this, we need better mental health resources for maintainers.

We need everyone to wake up to how fragile our shared commons are. We can't wait until we drown in security incidents and more projects close down, using them as excuses. If you're in a position to help (every company is), check who you depend on and need support (everyone), and fund them.

I really enjoyed talking to @josh.bressers.name about the @opensourcepledge.com, and about why and how we should support Open Source maintainers 😊

Josh Bressers@josh.bressers.name · 3mo ago

I had a chat with @vlad.website about the @opensourcepledge.com Vlad has a ton of insight into how hard it is to just figure out what you're running plus the challenges maintainers have Vlad has a ton of great ideas how to start tackling some of these incredibly difficult problems

We're touched by Foxley Talent's dedication to the Open Source ecosystem we all rely on. 🫶 “The last 12 months have been the hardest since I started Foxley Talent (...) [but] for the fourth year running, I have donated $5,000 to the Django Software Foundation (...) it's non negotiable”

It’s official. Mux is part of the @opensourcepledge.com. $77,730 ($2,101/dev) to OSS in 2025, plus stewarding Video.js, the web’s most popular open source player. @mmcc.io wrote about why we signed -- and the dinner conversation that made us act: www.mux.com/blog/mux-joi...

Mux pledges allegiance, to OSS, and to the...uh...software for which it stands. For real, Mux promises to pay open source maintainers on a consistent basis.

The invisible code running the world (and who pays for it) - Software Heritage

The era of the “free lunch” in open source is over. As the global economy rests on an invisible layer of volunteer-led code, the foundations are beginning to crack under the weight of “maintainer fatigue.” Leaders from the EU issued a blunt warning: digital sovereignty isn’t built on software alone—it’s built on the “invisible” labor of the people who maintain it.
