What they were doing? What’s this collective?
They were a donation platform for community projects and open-source projects. Their main thing was that all donations and expenses by an entity are public, so there’s a lot of transparency with who and where the money goes that you donate. Really sad to lose them
I believe their expenses were public also. Basically a public financial record.
OCI the company running the platform seems to still be up and running it, at from reading the FAQ.
It’s so weird reading both sides of the 2 entities involved in this. Seems like there’s some missing communication between the two
Link to the other side?
The post article is from the umbrella organization Open Collective Inc.
Here’s the announcement from the Open Collective Foundation. There’s also Open Collective Europe which will not be dissolving.
Originally I remember OCF partially blaming OCI’s decisions as some of the reason OCF couldn’t be sustainable, but I can’t seem to find that anymore
