Open Source Developer Creates First-of-its-Kind Fund To Support Maintainers
|

|

Appwrite, an open source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform for web, mobile, and flutter developers, today announced the Open Source Software Fund (OSS Fund), which will award $50,000 in its first year to open source maintainers whose projects lay the groundwork for today’s digital infrastructure but aren’t being compensated for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Appwrite’s yearly OSS Fund will help meet the industry’s need to assist open source maintainers, promote technology innovation, and create awareness for a variety of open source development solutions. Each year, the fund amount will be reviewed to ensure that it continues to meet the community’s needs. The application period is currently open, and applications will be accepted on an annual basis. The Appwrite Developer Relations team will choose the recipients: [https://appwrite.io/oss-fund][2]

“I know what it’s like to spend long hours in front of your computer, putting your blood, sweat and tears into something you love and that is also benefiting thousands or even millions of people around the world,” said Eldad Fux, founder & CEO of Appwrite. “I’ve known all along that we would use some of Appwrite’s success and investment to support other developers and maintainers just like me, to give back in order to look forward. We hope our contribution can make a difference.”
|
||||
|
||||
One of the most pressing challenges in today’s technological environment is the long-term viability of open source developers and maintainers. Despite the fact that open source software accounts for 70-90 percent of all software and is the foundation of our digital civilization, many developers and maintainers working on the most vital projects integrated across networks and products go unpaid or underpaid. How to help these people has become a contentious issue, with a range of solutions being presented. Appwrite is taking action on behalf of maintainers, elevating their work and providing financial support in exchange for their contributions to the industry and digital society.
|
||||
|
||||
Eldad Fux, the founder of Appwrite, began his career as a developer by contributing to open source software projects and participating in open source communities. Appwrite began as a side project, and he built it from the ground up as a BaaS product. Fux currently supports the open source philosophy by focusing on a completely open source platform and giving back to the community in a variety of ways, including the Appwrite OSS Fund.
|
||||
|
||||
“Open source powers most of the World’s modern day infrastructure, from mobile to web, cars and even missions beyond this planet. This is only sustainable by the generosity of the community, their time and efforts. However, this could be improved by the support of more companies and organizations, to prevent community members’ burnout,” said Eddie Jaoude, Developer and Creator of EddieHub.

开源开发者创建首个支持维护者的基金会
|
||||
======
|
||||
![opensourceBETTERimage][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Appwrite 是一个为 Web、移动和 flutter 开发者提供的开源“<ruby>后端即服务<rt>Backend-as-a-Service</rt></ruby>”（BaaS）平台。今天，它宣布成立开源软件基金（OSS 基金会），该基金会将在第一年，向那些为当下数字基础设施奠定基础，却没有得到补偿的开源维护者，提供 5 万美元的资助。
|
||||
|
||||
Appwrite 每年的开源基金将用于协助开源开发者、促进技术革新，并为各种开源开发方案创造知名度。每年，它都会对基金数额进行审查，以确保其继续满足社区的需求。目前已经开始接受申请，并且每年都会接受申请。获奖者将由 Appwrite 开发者关系团队选出。了解更多：[https://appwrite.io/oss-fund][2]。

||||
|

创始人兼 CEO Eldad Fux 说：“我懂这种感受，你在电脑前花费大量时间，把血汗和泪水投入到热爱的事物中，而且这些事物还在使全世界成千上万甚至数百万人受益。我一直就有这个想法：借用 Appwrite 的一些成功经验和投资，来支持其他像我一样的开发者和维护者，以回馈的方式来展望未来。希望我们的贡献能够带来改变。”
|
||||
|
||||
在今天的技术环境中，最紧迫的挑战之一就是开源开发者和维护者的长期生存能力。尽管开源软件占比已经达到 70% 到 90%，是当下数字文明的基础，但许多最重要项目的开发者和维护者仍然没有获得足够报酬，或者根本没有报酬。关于如何帮助这些人，业界已经有了许多讨论，并提出了一系列的解决方案。Appwrite 正在为维护者做一些事，提升他们的工作，并提供经济支持，以换取他们对行业和数字社会的贡献。
|
||||
|
||||
Eldad Fux 自身通过为开源软件项目做贡献和参与开源社区，开始了他的开发者生涯。Appwrite 最初是一个副业项目，他把它作为一个 BaaS 产品从头打造。目前，Fux 通过专注于完全开源的平台和以各种方式回馈社区来支持开源理念，其中就包括了 Appwrite OSS 基金。
|
||||
|
||||
EddieHub 的创始人和开发者 Eddie Jaoude 说：“开源为世界上大部分的现代基础设施提供动力，从移动到网络、汽车甚至是地球以外的任务。只有靠社区的慷慨解囊，他们的时间和努力才能持续。如果有更多的公司和组织的支持，这种情况将得到改善，避免社区成员因报酬不足/没有报酬而懈怠。”
