| <p>ecosyste.ms is a set of free services and tools for developers, researchers and policymakers to help identify, secure and sustain open source software. It was developed throughout 2022 by Andrew Nesbitt and Benjamin Nickols, with support from the now disbanded Plaintext Group at Schmidt Futures and Open Source Collective.</p> | ||

| <h2>I’m a maintainer, how do I get paid?</h2> | ||
| <p>If you haven’t already, add a <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/displaying-a-sponsor-button-in-your-repository"><code>funding.yml</code></a> file to your repository/ies. We track 10.7m packages and their corresponding repositories, directing payments according to the instructions provided in a <code>funding.yml</code> file. If we cannot find or read a file, we use publicly available information to contact the maintainer(s), asking them to accept funds on behalf of their community, or to direct a payment by adding a <code>funding.yml</code> file to their repos.</p> | ||

| <h2>Do I have to pay tax on donations accepted from ecosyste.ms?</h2> | ||
| <p>If you have received a donation as a maintainer through ecosyste.ms it is likely that you will have to pay tax on that as income. However, if you have established a relationship with a fiscal sponsor, and you use donations to cover costs that you have paid (for instance, hosting, domain names, event attendance etc) you may be able to reimburse yourself without incurring a tax liability. We recommend you seek advice from a local tax professional if you are unsure of the law in your territory.</p> | ||

| <h2>What’s an ecosystem?</h2> | ||
| <p>We’ve packaged open source projects together according to a particular technology like MariaDB, Cucumber, or Vagrant. Each of these packaged ‘Funds’ includes the core technology plus any dependent projects (bindings, utilities etc) and dependencies. The idea being that you direct us toward the key technologies you depend upon, and we direct funds to the most critical projects within that domain on your behalf.</p> | ||

| <h2>How do I donate to or sponsor an ecosystem?</h2> | ||
| <p>We’re still in public beta, so please excuse us if we’ve yet to iron everything out but: every Ecosystem Fund has a corresponding page on Open Collective. You can donate or sponsor a Fund using Open Collective who accept a myriad of payment options. Open Source Collective, who administrate the program, are registered vendors to most large corporate sponsors. If you would like us to register with your procurement team contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.</p> | ||

| <h2>How are funds allocated to projects?</h2> | ||
| <p>Our approach is to fund the most critical projects in a software ecosystem, and we believe that actual usage is the best measure of how critical an open source component is.</p> | ||
