      Yes that is what I have raised before I believe I commented to @jongalloway . If there was some "we would like support for these products" or almost like some kind of retainer basis they could pay for. They won't just pay into nothing. But if it can be sold as if you hit issues

      Then they could get help they could buy that, but one person can't do that alone... And companies don't want to negotiate that for a bunch of packages one by one... If they could buy a pack that spanned packages they care about then fine....

      Anytime they don't use on bugs support they could request features, or push their agenda for what they want. And leftover time goes to general package health

      Jumping in: this is something I speak about in my impact map for happier OSS maintainers in my candidate platform for the elections: https://election.dotnetfoundation.org/campaign-2019/sean-killeen.html …

      Replying to @sjkilleen @TimSeaw and

      This is definitely a challenge worth tackling. We need happier OSS Maintainers. One of the groups that can help is companies. They can help by sponsoring, or donating time/money to the work. Next step: determine what we can do to influence them to do so.

      They never will, you used the trigger word... Donate... They will buy support pay for time they won't donate (a few might but good luck on the really big ones)

      I don't think we've found an appropriate way to influence them yet. I think the on-boarding, execution, and ROI isn't clear, and I think all the benefits to companies haven't been explored and communicated. I am doggedly optimistic here. I think we're only scratching the surface.

      I suspect they know pretty much all of these figures, and I think they pay for plenty of oss software today having been in the pricing for support negotiations for them, at the moment few if any .net based things are setup with these facilities

      I definitely agree that this is an important problem that needs solving - corps that use open source need to be educated on why they should, and we need to make it easier for them to.

      And this is the kind of thing a software foundation like @dotnetfdn can help with, working on behalf of many open source projects, simplifying legal hurdles. There are some projects and initiatives we've looked at, e.g. @tidelift, the new #communitybridge from Linux Foundation.

      Interesting because the Linux foundation has come up on the other side of the fence a couple of times as things that could be paid into.
