No idea. There being several large businesses around React Native changes the dynamics a bit. A lot of paid consulting etc. Seems like something that should be non-FB driven. (my opinions)

I guess we’ll have to disagree. Oh well, I’m still taking a break from OSS so I won’t dive deeper. I just wish that wasn’t the answer.

I disagree with the overall sentiment that Facebook should: - Open source a project - Have employees work on it - And financially fund others too All the while other companies profit without the same level of donation and alturisum.

It’s ok to disagree as long as this could lead to better solutions for the larger ecosystem. If you want, we can pick this up later once I’m back - I’d love to talk with you more about this, you have massive years of OSS experience to back your thoughts on the subject.

Yeah I'm talking more abstractly and not necessarily about RN. I'm on the team but have no idea what's going on. Yes! Let's chat when you're back, would love to help in any way I can.

(minor nitpick, if I’m understanding the way the Jest sponsor button works, technically it’s only “piping” the money from the “community” back to the “community” so no direct money from FB which sort of lives closer to your POV - which could be step 0 to start our conv later)

Facebook is the biggest contributor to the Jest Open Collective. Facebook also supports the Open Collectives of a ton of non-facebook projects like: Webpack, Babel, Electron, ESLint, Rollup, Storybook, Gatsby, Mobx, and Vuehttps://opencollective.com/fbopensource

Replying to @rickhanlonii @Kelset and
If Facebook committed just 1% of net income — not revenues, not market cap — to OSS it would be $225MM/year. The Open Collective support adds up to $110k and I suspect the cash expense for OSS engineering time & services is not $225MM. Biggest doesn’t always mean big.

Replying to @JI @rickhanlonii and
Actually your number may not be far from reality. Add up all the FB engineers contributing on GitHub, apply a level distribution estimate and calculate total compensation per year and you’ll probably get to 225MM/year.

And include all non-GitHub contributions such as the Linux Kernel etc. Also Open Compute, the countless AI/ML contributions and papers. There's so many ways in which Facebook contributes.
