Ask HN: What OSS projects would you sponsor?

4 pointsby munawwaralmost 5 years ago
Before just throwing a random list of projects here, let's say your budget is a $100 / mo (just a random round figure), what OSS projects would you now sponsor? That'd make you think about what you really want to see in the tech world.

I would (and actually do) sponsor small projects I find useful for my business. Derick Rethans’ Xdebug, Ondrej Sury’s backport Debian repos, etc.<p>I’ve also made one off donations to get a higher priority fix for a bug&#x2F;issue.

My list begins with Firefox, Ubuntu &amp; linux. I want to see OS, desktops and browsers not being solely controlled by for-profit corps. In the same line, mobile OSes don&#x27;t have a good alternative. Any suggestions?
