Sentry, an open source company, has allocated $154,999.89 to 108 recipients under its FOSS Fund 155 initiative, which includes foundation memberships, long-tail projects, and internships for new contributors through Outreachy. The fund aims to contribute meaningfully by fairly compensating the value received from volunteer labor in the open source community, with a target budget of $150,000 based on napkin math suggesting that tech companies receive approximately $2,000 of value from volunteer labor per engineer. Sentry prioritized support for its dependencies and allocated half of the budget to eight formal non-profit foundations supporting major community-led open source projects such as Python, Django, Rust, and PostgreSQL. The company also invested in welcoming new contributors into the open source community by allocating 13% of the budget to sponsor three interns through Outreachy.
