We Just Gave $750,000 to Open Source Maintainers

Sentry, an open-source company, has donated $750,000 to open-source maintainers this year, a 50% increase from last year. The company launched the Open Source Pledge alongside other companies, aiming to pay maintainers at least $2,000 per year per developer on staff and raise awareness about open-source sustainability. Sentry's main distributions for 2024 include Django, OSI, Outreachy, Python, OpenJS, Rust, rrweb, SPI (PostgreSQL), Geomys (Go), PHP, Apache, Ruby Central, and .NET. The company also used three platforms to distribute money in an automated fashion to smaller projects and individual maintainers.
