GitHub Sponsors New Way to Pay Developers.

[L&LD]

I found this interesting article that the scriptwriters here may be interested in.

It is only in Beta now but looks promising.

This is sponsored by both GitHub and Microsoft and they are offering a matching fund for the first year up to $5,000.

According to GitHub, anyone who contributes to open source projects, including writing code, documentation, or providing leadership, is "eligible for sponsorship." There are zero platform fees involved in the transactions. GitHub says it will also cover processing fees for the first 12 months of the program and it has also set up a "matching fund" that will match up to $5,000 in contributions through a developer's first year using GitHub Sponsors.
