Join the Pledge

What's this blog post about?

The Open Source Pledge is officially launched by Sentry, aiming to give back to the open source community on behalf of every employee. The program involves direct funding driven by various inputs such as dependency graph, project votes, and engineering leadership guidance. Initially, it was a donation matching concept but evolved into direct funding due to challenges in participation. The Open Source Pledge encourages companies to commit to giving $2,000 per engineer annually to their dependencies. Sentry believes that this modest contribution can have significant impact on the open source community and improve brand marketing and supply chain efficiency.
