      I disagree with this strongly. There's an equal amount of projects that ended up money sinks by not having anyone accountable after the money has been given away. There's an ample amount of successful foundations for work.https://twitter.com/wycats/status/1042858051936514048 …

      Foundations inevitably end up this way. Funding open source by first funnelling it through a bureaucracy that decides on who gets the money through a political process is just begging for grifters (and makes it hard for people to direct spending in the first place) https://twitter.com/jessfraz/status/1042617597311819776 …

      What the FOSS community suffers from is trying to invent those foundations themselves when there's a wide amount of practice outside of the community. It also should not be forgotten that many foundations have funding of development as an explicit non-goal (e.g. Apache).

      RubyTogether, IMHO, takes the right approach: public, accountable, with a clearly defined set of goals and projects to work on. You may disagree with their positions (and also implementation), but there's always space for two.

      What we see is a the outcome of not caring enough about our foundations and groups, not the failure of the model itself.

      Also, it must be seen that many fundgivers are not interested in having this work on their books - this is where a foundation is perfect to step in. The reason people are giving money to the Linux foundation is because it is _there_ and offers the promise of support.

          Finally, individuals are not sustainable. When they leave, who manages changeover?

          Right, I think this is the role for foundations. But for every case like this, there are cases where somebody *does* want to direct funding, and could accomplish that through a full-time job paying a good wage, or hiring someone to do the work. These are part of sustainability.

          iow, it's important for foundations to help facilitate money from companies with a desire to help but little idea (or ability to direct) *how*, but not drive away the idea of companies funding work directly through employment. L
