Sentry just gave $750k to open source projects
"Sentry started out as an Open Source side project in 2008. Today we are a Fair Source company with 100,000+ organizations on our SaaS and $100M+ ARR, but we have not forgotten our roots nor the hundreds of Open Source maintainers whose work we depend on for our success. Every year we share our success with the community, and 2024 is no different. This year, our budget is $750,000, up 50% from last year.
The big news this year is that, together with dozens of other companies, we launched the Open Source Pledge. It’s great that Sentry pays maintainers, but we can’t solve the Open Source sustainability crisis by ourselves. The good news is that we’re not alone. Through the Pledge, many other companies are also stepping up to the plate, paying maintainers at least $2,000 per year per dev on staff and blogging about it annually to drive awareness and accountability."
