Sentry, an Open Source-aligned company, has increased its commitment to funding non-commercial Open Source projects. For their third Open Source Fund Fest, they're nearly doubling their previous year's budget of $500,000 to support over 500 maintainers and thousands of projects. The program focuses on two aspects: breadth and depth, with Sentry using GitHub Sponsors and Thanks.dev as partners to allocate and distribute funds. While some may criticize small amounts, even these can bring motivation to individual maintainers. Sentry's success in achieving near 100% coverage of their fundable dependencies through GitHub Sponsors is notable. The company also highlights the importance of sponsorship at scale and its partnership with Thanks.dev, which has been instrumental in helping them achieve their goals. Additionally, Sentry emphasizes the need for a cultural change in the industry towards meaningful voluntary sponsorship, and they're working on a new license called the Functional Source License to promote sustainability.
