Overview

Open Code Together is a shared commitment to freedom through open source. This project is built on collaboration, transparency, and sustainable practice, inviting developers, users, and supporters to participate in a healthier software ecosystem. Donations help sustain the core maintainers, invest in robust infrastructure, and ensure ongoing accessibility for contributors around the world.

By contributing, you directly enable open projects to evolve with security, accessibility, and inclusivity in mind. The focus is not only on code but on the communities that sustain it—documentation, translation, outreach, and mentorship that empower new contributors to join with confidence.

The effort centers on responsible growth and long-term viability. Your support strengthens a network of maintainers who steward essential tooling, educate new contributors, and share knowledge openly for the benefit of everyone who relies on and builds with free software.

Why Your Support Matters

Open source thrives when people invest in people. Contributions make a measurable difference across several critical areas:

  • Maintainer time: fund dedicated hours for code review, bug fixes, and documentation improvements that keep projects healthy and secure.
  • Infrastructure: cover hosting, continuous integration, package registries, and automated testing that reduce breakage and improve reliability for users and contributors alike.
  • Security and quality: support audits, vulnerability response, and curated release processes that protect communities and data.
  • Community building: enable onboarding programs, translation efforts, and accessible learning resources so newcomers can participate with confidence.

How Donations Are Used

Donations are allocated with transparency to strengthen the project’s foundation and its ongoing impact. The primary priorities include maintaining a reliable development workflow, hosting essential services, and supporting outreach that grows a diverse contributor base.

  • Development — sustained core maintenance, bug fixing, feature planning, and clear contribution guidelines.
  • Hosting & tooling — servers, CI pipelines, code quality tools, and secure delivery of updates.
  • Documentation & education — clear documentation, tutorials, and translations to reach more people worldwide.
  • Public reporting — transparent progress updates, performance metrics, and open budgets so supporters understand outcomes.
  • Community events — online meetups, mentorship programs, and inclusive spaces for collaboration and learning.
