Tidelift co-founder and general counsel Luis Villa shares his HOWTO guide for paying open source maintainers with All Things Open Conference on We ❤️Open Source. 💰 Paying maintainers isn't just about compensation—it's about valuing the unseen, often underappreciated work that keeps open source projects secure and thriving. Maintainers play a critical role in ensuring the security and longevity of #opensource projects. Yet, the importance of compensating them fairly is often overlooked. This HOWTO outlines not only why paying them is vital but also how to do it effectively, ensuring that open source projects continue to benefit from the expertise and dedication of their #maintainers. Check out the full story on We ❤️Open Source 🗞️https://lnkd.in/g4FTVvCi For those interested in diving deeper into this topic, Lauren Hanford, VP of Product at Tidelift, will be speaking at All Things Open about the security work maintainers do behind the scenes. Her talk, "The Unseen, Underappreciated Security Work Your Maintainers May (or may not) Already Be Doing," will be Monday, October 28th, from 2:15 PM to 2:30 PM ET. We can guarantee you won’t want to miss this!  More information on the 2024 All Things Open conference can be found here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gkwDKc7R
