Selenium has been experimenting with #OpenCollective since Sept 13, 2023.
https://opencollective.com/selenium
We have raised $13,296.04 in micro sponsorships and bronze level self-service sponsorships on the platform.
We appreciate our primary fiscal host Software Freedom Conservancy for the support on us learning about platforms-based micro sponsorship models for open source.

I thought we might have a chance as a church that works to feed the homeless to use #opencollective to get a group to help us with a 501(c)3 status. Sadly, the groups are either inactive or say they don't work with churches. Guess that is a bust. @opencollective
@apps@toot.fedilab.app
All important services have been migrated to the new server (thanks to @0xd9a for his precious help on that work).
We now have a faster and more reliable server for our services such the FDroid repo, translations, Nitter instance and Fediplan.
We would like to ask your help on #Opencollective so we can pay one year of server charges in one time (around 370 euros are needed).
Thank you for helping.

@AasaMariaHedberg An alternative to #squarespace would be #wordpress / #ghost https://ghost.org/
#patreon can be replaced by #liberapay #opencollective https://liberapay.com/ https://opencollective.com/
and I'm not sure what #anchor is, sorry
*it might be worthwhile doing some experimentation by trying the services side by side before you commit 🤷♂️

I want to automatically list the names of people who have sponsored #Fedify with Open Collective in README.md. Is there a good way to do this? (I think I can use GitHub Actions or Open Collective's webhooks, but it's a bit of a hassle to create it myself.)

I passed the review to open a #Fedify collective on Open Collective, and now I'm thinking about how to structure the contribution tiers. 🤔

@mastodonmigration @dansup @zkrisher I contributed, because I believe we will only get the new Internet that we pay for, but the only sharing options are Facebook and Twitter. Open Collective needs an update. #opencollective

A big thanks to every contributor to our #OpenCollective for helping to keep this Brisbane Mastodon instance alive. We've pretty much made it through the whole year and we've got a few hundred in surplus donations, which we could use for the community. If anyone has any ideas on what we could spend the money on? Perhaps upgrading servers? A bar tab for a #Brisbane get-together? Pay an artist for some custom emojis? Let us know. Thanks again everyone who has helped out over this past year. https://opencollective.com/bnesocial

Question about #OpenCollective, if anyone knows:
What's the difference between an "Organization" and a "Collective"? Can people contribute financially to an Organization in the same way they can with a Collective?
I set up a Collective for the instance I run, but could only contribute to another Collective as an Organization, so I set up a separate Organization. Now I have to transfer money between them, which is a pain. Can I just ditch the Collective and have people donate to the Organization?

@apps@toot.fedilab.app
If you like #Fedilab and use #opencollective, you can contribute to our server charges (we didn't find alternative yet, so we stopped our cancel action).
https://opencollective.com/fedilab
That will help to maintain:
- Translation feature (used with Fedilab) at https://translate.fedilab.app
- Schedule messages at https://plan.fedilab.app
- Fdroid repo https://fdroid.fedilab.app

This is for sure the biggest challenge that eg @opencollective, @stackaid and others faces:
How to get people to accept money and (especially for #OpenCollective) how to then get them to make use of that money in a constructive way that makes it become a catalyst for an already successful project.
@tidelift kind of has their story clear here. They sign up maintainers for support to keep their packages safe and they sell those agreements packaged up with indemnification insurance to companies.

I am stepping back from the #Tusky project with immediate effect.
I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via #OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those to the project's private "Tusky Contributors" Matrix channel the financial admins tone policed the feedback, refused to engage with the concerns I and others raised, and demanded the discussion be stopped.
There is too much detail for a thread, so please read https://write.as/nikclayton/stepping-back-from-the-tusky-project.
