Hi All, We've run into some trouble with our current funding bylaw: 1. Tidelift has been purchased and is now pushing their new parent company's products more so than focusing on the original goal of raising funds for open source projects 2. We never actually were able to get Tidelift integrated into OpenCollective so we still have no funding and still are putting our Secretaries in a position where they have to pay for these things out of pocket.
In order to get around these issues and improve on our funding structure, I've put together a pull request[1] that would do the following: 1. Removes Tidelift entirely and replaces it with direct contributions to OpenCollective, with provisions that answer to my original concerns around conflict of interest and raising funds from individuals 2. Allow for repaying Secretaries that so kindly have been paying out of pocket to sustain our mission 3. Grants the ability for Secretaries to create and maintain a print-on-demand swag shop if they so choose to allow individuals to contribute while spreading the PHP-FIG mission in their communities. I would definitely be in the market for PHP-FIG swag 4. Clarifies when, how, how much, and to whom we disburse overfunding as well as codifying clearly what overfunding means These are all just ideas so please feel free to weigh in on alternative options or other improvements we can make.
