Somehow I just recently found out about @opencollect.
It lets you contribute to opensource tools you use in a very transparent fashion.
It was really hard to pick only ten, but I think this is a good start for me!
I wish @Blender was on the list!

Over the years only three organizations realized their promise to support open source, despite endless stream of startups and coins contacting me.
They are @opencollect, @github, and @thanks_dev (they are so awesome, I don't understand why not so many people talk about them) ❤️
The only podcast I'm listening to nowadays is @syntaxfm. So fun and educational too! Always learn something new.
And that's not because they, along with @getsentry, sponsor date-fns via @thanks_dev, but for that, they are absolute legends!
An open-source & self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Heroku, Netlify and Railway for easily deploying websites, databases, web applications. 👌
I've just contributed to Coolify. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! opencollective.com/coollabsi… via @opencollect

@authjs has been an OSS success story.
I want to thank all our @opencollect contributor! 💚
To pay it forward and inspire a new developer/project, I'm donating my full share, ~7500USD, to an open-source project.
Drop your suggestion in comments, who would deserve it?

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. dri.es/funding-open-source-l… #foss #opensource #sovereignty
Are you part of a grassroots group that needs to raise money but doesn't know where to start? Are you struggling to open a bank account for your group? Are you considering registering as a charity but don't want to be bogged down in paperwork? This is for you!
Support and advice from @RisingArtAgency , @opencollective, @SocialChangeAg and Bristol Redistro. Bristol, United Kingdom - Thurs 3 July. Drop in from 5-7.

Share the costs with your community.
FlightGear will always be free to use, but the project does incur costs for maintaining infrastructure such as download servers and domains. To safeguard the long-term availability, we now welcome entirely optional donations through @opencollect

How might we make the collective —the family that we choose— a source of income for people?
How do we move beyond donations?
Have you ever had that conversation within your community?
Crypto opens new ways to get funding, operate in the open and build trust.
We still have a lot of work to do to fully support collectives using crypto 🔅
But it’s great that we can already support such a great collective with our tool to annotate txs: txinfo.xyz
Had an inspiring and insightful meeting with Xavier @xdamman from @opencollect 🛠️
We exchanged ideas and presented our projects. Xavier introduced an incredibly simple and elegant tool for tracking transactions — txinfo.xyz. It neatly displays payments distributed across settlements or teams. Each wallet address can be labeled with the owner's name and tagged for specific expenses, such as in the #GG23 #Hypercerts for Nature Stewards Round 🌳💧
There’s one funny nuance — when Celo is displayed as ETH, it looks like we’re moving around 1000 ETH 😅 It’s pretty funny, and who knows, maybe one day that’ll happen! 😄
And of course, here’s our first purchase of euro-cube water tanks for irrigation in the frontline Kharkiv region at the Zhyvyi Dim settlement! Where the drought is draining all the plants we've planted. 💦
Now, blockchain transaction journals look much more vibrant! #ecovillage #treeplanting #watersystem

The future of human civilization will not be shaped by the battle between left and right, rather it will be determined by our choice between open and closed systems.
