OpenTeams Cooperative Funding program provides a platform for open source maintainers and contributors to propose specific units of work that businesses can fund to accelerate open source technology roadmaps. This program helps to build a community of like-minded people who can work together to make open source projects better, ultimately leading to faster development and innovation.
OpenTeams’ cooperative funding process allows open source maintainers and contributors to propose units of work that businesses can fund to accelerate open source technology development. Our open source architects work with businesses to identify relevant projects and activities to fund. Proposals that receive sufficient support are then funded, helping to advance valuable contributions to open source projects.
Open source maintainers/contributors submit their project ideas to OpenTeams, describing the type and direction of work, and explaining how they fit the project and align with its goals and plans.
OpenTeams’ team of experts reviews each submission to ensure it meets the criteria for the Cooperative Funding program. Projects must align with the overall goals of the Cooperative Funding program and provide benefits to the open source community.
Once a high-level idea is validated, open source maintainers/contributors work with OpenTeams to create detailed proposals that outlines goals, budget, and timeline for specific units of work. OpenTeams works actively with businesses to identify high-value work that is likely to receive sufficient interest and funding.
OpenTeams works with businesses to secure funding for the approved projects. Businesses can choose to fund an entire project or contribute to a portion of it.
Once funding is secured, the open source maintainers or contributors start executing on the unit of work. Throughout the project, OpenTeams provides support and guidance to ensure its success. A project maintainer Open Source Architect oversees the work, and OpenTeams can help recruit developer talent if needed.
Once the unit of work is complete, the open source maintainers merge the code, documentation, or other products according to the project’s established licensing model and contributions guidelines.
The completed project benefits the open source community by providing new features, improved functionality, and bug fixes that can be used by other developers and businesses.
The OpenTeams Cooperative Funding Program allows open source maintainers and contributors to collaborate with businesses in order to fund open source projects and accelerate the development of technologies. This program benefits both parties involved by providing a way for businesses to invest in open source projects that align with their goals, and for maintainers and contributors to receive the financial support they need to sustain their work. Additionally, the program promotes collaboration and innovation within the open source community, and helps to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of open source technologies.
