[OSGeo-Discuss] Patreon Funding for open source

[Jo Cook]

Hi All,

I realise that the question of funding open source GIS development is a
massive topic, but having read https://lukasa.co.uk/2015/08/Funding_OSS/
and following some of the links in the article (eg
http://www.drmaciver.com/2015/08/throwing-in-the-towel/) I'm curious about
how many people within the OSGeo "community" are using Patreon (
https://www.patreon.com/). In light of discussions we've all had over the
last few years about how to get companies etc to financially support open
source development, I'd like to know whether Patreon is a possible option.

Thanks

Jo
