Sentry raised its annual open-source maintainer support to $1 million, distributing funds across hundreds of developers, dependencies, and foundations.
The allocation includes funding via, ecosyste.ms across multiple language ecosystems, direct grants to open-source foundations, and individual project distributions.
This money is shared among hundreds of developers, code sections, and organizations that keep popular open source projects alive.
Where is the money distributed?
The largest chunk, $495.000, is being shared through a platform that finds code snippets and distributes sponsorships. Another $100.000 is being channeled to support packages in Python, Django, Ruby, Rust, JavaScript, and Go.
