Ask HN: How to fund the correct open-source organizations?
It's the time of the year where I do my 1% donations to open-source. I guess I should donate to the software of my stack: Debian, Postgres, Nginx, Ansible, Dropwizard... How do you find the "right" organizations to fund? - I'm worried about donating to the "wrong" people of a project. The typical example would be the difference between uBlock and uBlock Origin (they're not open-source but it's an example). Are there any similar schisms in open-source projects, where the programmers have basically split away from the people who maintain the ".org" website? - Should I donate to country-level organizations (example: Debian France, who only organize Debian conferences in France) or to the american organization? - How to avoid another OpenSSL fiasco, by donating to the right people? Should I just give it all to the FSF, and they take care of trickling the money? Is there an org in charge of spreading the money to the right people? Thank you, I hope you've all met those interrogations about donating. 1 comments on Hacker News.
