xtend + Tidelift

[phated]

Hey @Raynos!

I know this project is frozen, but I figured I'd reach out anyway because receiving an extra $100/month is nothing to dismiss.

Anyway, I just started at Tidelift and have been looking through our list of projects that have funding available and noticed xtend has almost $100 per month that can be claimed by you. I’d love to get you signed up so we can start paying you this money.

The high-level overview of Tidelift is that we sell a “managed open source” subscription to companies and pay that money out to maintainers. We use their dependency trees to determine which packages are depended upon and, therefore, should get the funds. You can read more about Tidelift’s subscription service on our site.

The tasks we ask you to perform are things that most maintainers already do (such as provide release notes, validate the license of a package, and monitor and alert for security vulnerabilities), but you can find the specific details in this blog post by @kszu.

Please let me know what you think! I’m happy to answer any other questions you might have. 😄

Thanks for all your open source work,
-Blaine

HI Blaine,

Thanks for reaching out. I'll sign up to tidelift and check out more information about it.

I think this is a great incentive for continued maintenance.

Thanks.
Jake.
