Open Source Pledge ⇌

Open Source Pledge is a group of companies with a shared commitment to paying the maintainers of the Open Source software we all consume.

[Open Source Pledge ⇌ @ThePledge]

Hello world! We’re here to get OSS maintainers paid and chew bubblegum. And we’re all out of gum.

#PayTheMaintainers

[Sentry @sentry]

For those who know Sentry, you know we’ve been giving back to Open Source maintainers since our early days.

This year, we increased our budget from $750,000 to $1,000,000.

Here’s where it went 🧵

[Syntax @syntaxfm]

We just sent $100,000 to 20 open source projects ($5000 each) that the Syntax team use regularly and depend on. Thank you so much to all the maintainers for all your time and efforts!

Big thanks to @sentry and @ThePledge for giving us the resources to do this.

🎉 We've renewed our @ThePledge for 2026!

Six developers, $13,000 to:
@openjsf , the @linuxfoundation, @GraphQL, the OpenAPI Initiative and Forbes Lindesay.

Plus a virtual file system contributed to @nodejs, and security triage that nobody announces.

[Dmytro Krasun @DmytroKrasun]

ScreenshotOne is now officially a member of the Open Source Pledge (https://t.co/0dyh56GA6r).

Thanks, Zeke, for the suggestion to join.

The pledge will help me be more systematic and intentional about supporting open-source maintainers and projects I value and want to see thrive.

If you run a software company that relies on open source, consider joining too.

@DmytroKrasun @_m27e Great, I asked to connect on LinkedIn, or you can DM me your email address if you prefer. –Vlad

[Open Source Pledge ⇌ @ThePledge]

@_m27e @DmytroKrasun We'd love to have you, @DmytroKrasun! If you have 4 devs or fewer, you're already eligible. Want to chat?

[Open Source Pledge ⇌ @ThePledge]

Be like @coderabbitai. Sponsor OSS maintainers. 🙌

[Santosh Yadav - In San Francisco 21-29 oct @SantoshYadavDev]

Support for more Open Source projects coming soon 😍

I love doing this, its amazing that @CodeRabbit cares so much about OSS and I can collaborate with all this amazing projects and OSS maintainers

[knut @kmelve]

in times like these, I'm very happy that @sanity_io put some of our @ThePledge dollars on the good folks at @pnpmjs 🫡

(and we made it our mandated package manager internally)

[Darcy Clarke @darcy]

While others race away from Open Source, @vltpkg is doubling down. 🖤⚡

Today we’re announcing our renewed commitment to @ThePledge and investing back into the ecosystem.

Welcome aboard to @Synergy_App, everyone's favorite software KVM. 🖥️🖥️🖥️⌨️🖱️

[Darcy Clarke @darcy]

I tip my hat to everyone out there that is doing the thankless, unpaid work to ensure their environments & software stays safe/secure. At @vltpkg we're giving back (ex. @ThePledge) & building a package manager that attacks the last mile problem with a zero trust approach.

[Open Source Pledge ⇌ @ThePledge]

Welcome aboard to our newest member company ... at a whopping $12,000 per dev! Well done! 🐰👏😁

[CodeRabbit @coderabbitai]

Open source quietly powers everything from your terminal to your favorite frameworks, yet maintainers are often underfunded.

In 2025, CodeRabbit distributed over $600,000 directly to OSS maintainers, and we’re just getting started!
