Gitpod Open-Source Sustainability Fund

Gitpod has announced the creation of an open-source sustainability fund with an initial allocation of $30,000 to support open-source maintainers. The company is also encouraging new community members by donating $1 for each registration to its Discord channel during the next month. Additionally, Gitpod will share its experiences in funding open-source projects and provide insights for maintainers seeking financial independence. The company hopes that other businesses will follow suit and contribute to the sustainability of open-source projects.
