Here's the TWO-HUNDRETH 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 JJ featured in TechCrunch, a major OSS Capital announcement, news for Hoppscotch, OpenBB, & BlueSky, job listings, and more!
