The state of distributed open source funding and what needs to happen next

Duration: NaN:NaN:NaN

Speaker: Otto Kekalainen

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: No prior knowledge

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2026

I will talk about problems in widely used open source that related to both lack of funding and funding from too centralized sources, list some projects currently trying to implement distributed funding for open source projects, and my personal view of the current landscape and how it should evolve with the background of somebody who has both received funding for open source work and also been giving over a million dollars to open source organisations in traditional funding.
