COSS Weekly #123

Here's the one-hundred twenty third issue of COSS Weekly, the global commercial open source (COSS) company category newsletter, brought to you every weekend by the team at OSS Capital, creators and stewards of COSS Community and Open Core Summit.

We deliver only the most fresh 😋 news from the previous week in COSS across: Funding, Content, Jobs, Liquidity and $COSS (Public Markets).

Last week saw the 30th Anniversary of Red Hat!!, plus $77.6M in funding announcements from Mozilla.ai, Dragonfly, Vue Storefront, and Dylibso, leaderboards for the top COSS projects and funders, AI releases, and more!

Make sure to check out the special video made in honor of 30 years of Red Hat, featuring 23 open-source founders, and enjoy!
