As promised in my tweet of June 30 (and to the handful of
people who emailed me), the cloud of mystery surrounding the
use of the money raised for code-d and its supporting tools has
now been (partially) lifted!
In this post, I lay out the details of how the first $1000 will
be paid out to project maintainer Jan Jurzitza, a.k.a
Webfreak001, and explain what we hope to achieve with this
ecosystem fundraising initiative going forward.
This time around, it all came together in the background of
prepping for DConf with little forethought beyond activating an
Open Collective goal and then working with Jan to determine the
details. Lessons were learned. Later this year, you'll see the
result when we announce the next of what we hope to be an
ongoing series of funding targets.
In the meantime:

This is truly commendable. I can wait to see these milestones
achieve in practical terms. Wishing all involve great success.
Thanks to all, who are involve for with this for the effort thus
far
