Creating a Healthier Ecosystem

Open Source Collective was created to help build a healthier and more 
sustainable ecosystem for open source creators. And a big part of that 
is personal health.

Many open source projects that we love and rely on are maintained and 
updated by a small group of people, or sometimes just one. The tasks 
they need to do vary, but the demands on their time can build up fast.

Some maintainers might want to devote more time to this kind of work, 
but fear losing the healthcare and benefits that come with their regular 
job.

This is why OSC is now looking to employ maintainers on select 
sufficiently-funded projects, providing them with access to things like 
paid annual leave, healthcare, and sick leave. That way, they can spend 
more time maintaining their project, and supporting the wider community.
