Research group investigating how funders and community leaders can better meet the needs of digital infrastructure projects in FOSS, funded by @FordFoundation

...remember when there were still conferences happening? We visited i.a. Infracon 2019 in Barcelona, @The_Maintainers III ´19 in Washington and MozFest '19 in London- and only now got to write about them and what they do for coding (infra-) communities: https://t.co/uMVtXsKIHN

We are launching a new effort w/ @mozilla@SloanFoundation@OpenSociety@opencollect to fund research & implementation of open source digital infrastructure! The RFP is now live. Join us Thursday @ 12:30pm ET to learn more: https://t.co/nySraawvU0
“It is a homogenous crowd, and it will likely remain that way – it’s a shame.” – In our latest report we talked to software developers in FOSS projects about diversity and funding. Read more here: https://t.co/P1qhGiWrSY

“Funding for maintenance is hopeless.” This is what many developers in the free software and open source community have told us. In our latest report we give some insights into how these communities can be better supported: https://t.co/P1qhGiWrSY

What kinds of funding do we need to secure the development of free and open-source software? In our report "Roadwork ahead", we identify core challenges and propose solutions: https://t.co/P7GkD8RurB @FordFoundation@SloanFoundation
#SaveInternetFreedom shows how the work of one of the largest #FOSS funders in the world is at stake – we need a more diverse landscape of funding and support for open source. With our report “Roadwork ahead”, we outline how other funders can step up:

Oldie but Goldie: https://t.co/96TYKxTvj2 "Open Source Guides (https://t.co/9qkfbZIWmH) are a (really nicely designed) collection of resources for individuals, communities, and companies who want to learn how to run and contribute to an open source project."
Shiny new website for the cohort: ✨ Learn more about the (open) software, standards, and protocols that form our digital infrastructure and 13 stellar connected research projects here: https://t.co/Fic3JEQzzf
Fun Fact: "Books of a Feather" IS an actual book title, but, surprisingly, it's not about #FOSS cultures, or #Infrastructure or STS, so we didn´t include in our Literature Review. We did read a whole lot of #Kelty, #Coleman, #Ensmenger et al. though: https://t.co/Xq84A0gBWP
New blogpost up on https://t.co/BfMNkAJ1Zz about implicit structures in software development: "How to unveil the invisible"- Human-centered design as a qualitative approach->https://t.co/80GdbvgCJo
At my first #mirageOS retreat for @IDE_Research – big thanks to everyone here for sharing their thoughts and experiences with me, and for patiently explaining projects, concepts, bugs and fixes . I'm learning a lot! #FOSS
This is so cool! From @simplysecureorg & @luminategroup about recommendations for funders in regards to funder/grantee relations #sustainablefunding: https://t.co/FPN9vjFJLI
This is me, learning to run the digital research infrastructure for our beloved project @IDE_Research. I think I've never felt more empowered in my work. To all the #opensource devs out there: Your work is dearly needed and very much appreciated 💚 #FOSSlove
