[1384.94 --> 1386.44] They get mentorship and a cohort. |
[1386.60 --> 1386.92] Yeah. |
[1387.04 --> 1390.54] I mean, hopefully that whole deal really helps them. |
[1390.54 --> 1393.52] And then we can learn from it, like you said, and do it again. |
[1394.26 --> 1398.26] Because when I started in open source, it was definitely like everyone's dream was to |
[1398.26 --> 1400.00] get a paid job working in open source software. |
[1400.40 --> 1402.42] And everyone that got one, it's like, how'd you do that? |
[1402.46 --> 1403.16] How'd you convince them? |
[1403.18 --> 1403.90] What are you working on? |
[1404.18 --> 1404.34] Yeah. |
[1404.42 --> 1406.20] And that's been great. |
[1406.34 --> 1407.24] And it's expanded. |
[1407.40 --> 1408.96] And many of us get paid to work in open source. |
[1409.36 --> 1411.58] But I think there's more models that we could add to it. |
[1411.74 --> 1412.00] Absolutely. |
[1412.00 --> 1415.18] Is there a maintainer dashboard? |
[1415.72 --> 1417.46] Or a place that a maintainer can go? |
[1417.78 --> 1422.92] Or something where they can go see, here's what GitHub Sponsors has available to me. |
[1423.44 --> 1427.94] And I'm thinking like beyond just a place to get educated on how GitHub Sponsors can help |
[1427.94 --> 1429.46] them sustain their project. |
[1429.52 --> 1431.70] Whether it's through donations, through sponsors. |
[1431.70 --> 1437.22] I'm thinking about even there's a lot of, I guess, SaaS companies, service dev tooling |
[1437.22 --> 1441.24] that give away their tool for free to open source contributors or to maintainers. |
[1442.12 --> 1445.94] And like, is there a dashboard to go on and say, okay, I can go get Century for free because |
[1445.94 --> 1446.90] I'm in open source. |
[1446.98 --> 1452.12] Or there's XYZ program where they may be spending their dollars on this stuff and they could be |
[1452.12 --> 1452.86] getting it for free. |
[1452.94 --> 1457.48] Like some way to say, here's my access to the maintainer kingdom that GitHub Sponsors has |
[1457.48 --> 1458.32] orchestrated for me. |
[1458.62 --> 1460.24] A dashboard that says I can do sponsors. |
[1460.34 --> 1461.36] I can get money from here. |
[1461.36 --> 1462.24] I can get support there. |
[1462.32 --> 1463.80] I can get cohorts here. |
[1463.84 --> 1465.76] I can learn about Accelerator here. |
[1466.00 --> 1467.06] Is there a place for that? |
[1467.82 --> 1473.62] So there is a, you can go read about GitHub Sponsors and maintainers and GitHub Funds now. |
[1473.82 --> 1477.88] We don't offer maintainers free software, but if you are a student interested in open source |
[1477.88 --> 1481.66] software and you sign up for GitHub Education, there's a whole student pack of free software |
[1481.66 --> 1482.36] that you can get. |
[1483.30 --> 1488.58] There's a repo that you can find, something along the lines of free stuff. |
[1489.08 --> 1490.68] Yeah, it's like free for open source. |
[1490.68 --> 1491.32] Awesome. |
[1491.64 --> 1492.70] It's an awesome list. |
[1493.08 --> 1494.00] It is an awesome list. |
[1494.00 --> 1494.80] And it's just community maintained. |
[1495.16 --> 1499.34] And it's a list of sentries and bit buckets. |
[1499.54 --> 1500.00] I just made that. |
[1500.20 --> 1501.62] I don't know about, is bit buckets still out there? |
[1502.16 --> 1502.56] Yeah. |
[1502.88 --> 1503.48] Other things. |
[1503.64 --> 1505.86] Things that have a free plan for open source maintainers. |
[1505.86 --> 1508.40] And that would be one place people could go. |
[1508.58 --> 1510.16] But just throwing that in there. |
[1510.82 --> 1514.64] Well, to me, it seems like you will have the great opportunity to connect dots. |
[1515.36 --> 1516.24] The dots are on GitHub. |
[1516.56 --> 1517.36] That's in a repo. |
[1518.14 --> 1518.24] Right? |
[1518.24 --> 1519.94] It's in disparate places. |
[1520.36 --> 1522.50] We're always looking for new ideas. |
[1522.50 --> 1522.52] We're always looking for new ideas. |
[1522.52 --> 1523.12] Bring it together. |
[1523.40 --> 1524.36] A maintainer dashboard. |
[1524.74 --> 1526.26] That needs to be your next big thing. |
[1526.66 --> 1530.02] Where can I go as a maintainer to find out what's available to me to sustain? |
[1530.84 --> 1533.66] Funding, people, free services. |
[1534.96 --> 1535.54] I don't know. |
[1535.90 --> 1540.50] So when you say maintainer dashboard, what I always think about is when I talk to maintainers, |
[1540.56 --> 1543.10] they tell me they're not asking what they get for free. |
[1543.10 --> 1546.12] What they're asking is, how do I know who contributes to my projects? |
[1546.24 --> 1548.98] And how do I know who this person is? |
[1548.98 --> 1550.76] And the last time they were active. |
[1551.30 --> 1555.90] And did they submit this code on behalf of GitHub or Microsoft? |
[1556.28 --> 1557.94] Or are they an individual? |
[1558.46 --> 1558.70] Right. |
[1558.70 --> 1562.56] That would definitely be a good thing to put in that dashboard, too. |
[1563.62 --> 1564.24] A lot of things. |
[1564.48 --> 1565.18] A lot of things. |
[1565.34 --> 1566.46] Well, isn't... |
[1566.46 --> 1567.24] We could create a project. |
[1567.58 --> 1567.80] Yeah. |
[1568.38 --> 1570.22] There's kind of two sides to an open source project, though. |
[1570.24 --> 1573.56] There's the running of it and the creating of the software and managing the community, |
[1574.12 --> 1581.46] potentially finding contributors, or identifying three-time contributors who may get an opportunity |
[1581.46 --> 1584.90] to become a full-time or core team member, whatever it might be. |
[1584.90 --> 1590.38] And then the somewhat lesser-known business side of it, where it's not really the business |
[1590.38 --> 1592.48] side, but it's not development. |
[1593.04 --> 1593.12] Right? |
[1593.20 --> 1595.78] It's more admin-type stuff. |
[1596.04 --> 1599.68] That's what I think this dashboard should maybe have, is where it's like, as an admin |
[1599.68 --> 1602.82] of this project, what's available to me to sustain this thing? |
[1602.82 --> 1604.80] Not only just that, but those things, too. |
[1605.24 --> 1611.14] That, and I think we need to make sure developers and maintainers have tools to do their job |
[1611.14 --> 1617.22] well and to get funding, whether it's through Accelerator or GitHub Fund or sponsors, in a |
[1617.22 --> 1620.80] way that doesn't require them to become marketing and social media experts. |
[1621.46 --> 1621.70] Yeah. |
[1621.70 --> 1624.28] I kind of feel this way about all small businesses, not just software. |
[1624.48 --> 1624.76] Right. |
[1624.88 --> 1629.26] If you have a really awesome hairdresser or massage therapist, should they have to become |
[1629.26 --> 1630.54] business experts as well? |
[1630.70 --> 1632.20] In our current model, they do. |
