Hi @sam ,

at the moment we are in contact with multiple open source projects that showed interest but we are still testing it on a smaller scale. It is still a prototype and we are lacking resources to scale it since the main developers working full time in other jobs and we also have not that many contact in the COSS community yet.

The concept was tested internally with quite some success and distributed around 3000€ between the contributors of LibreSelery and its dependencies. In the last months, we gathered feedback from multiple communities like GNU or Debian to evaluate the needs of the community. You can see this feedback in our issue board. A new architecture that allows better community adaptions has been created by us and will be released in the next week. Together with the RWTH Aachen University we are also evaluating the economical factor. We are still looking for a stronger partner to go larger steps, that one reason why I joined this community.

Hello Y'all! Lovely to meet you and learn about your projects. Afraid I'm a bit late to this thread - but hey, it's still 2020. Since autumn, I've been working with Scarf (scarf.sh or @scarf_oss on twitter ) on developer content strategy and outreach. I'm a big fan of the dev.to approach to content|community - it's cool to see forem launch to make this replicable ...

@sam does coss.community have a policy around re-posting blog content here to give it better distribution in the coss.community? (cross-posting used to be out of favor, but I don't think that's true any longer... ) Please advise :-) TIA!
