Ask HN: OSS devs, what are your experiences working with corporate sponsors?

1 pointsby jleversabout 2 months ago
I maintain a fairly large open source PHP SDK [1] (4.6M downloads at the moment) for Amazon&#x27;s Selling Partner API. The project is about 4 years old at this point.<p>Amazon just started building their own PHP SDK for the same API (which is incomplete and way behind my library in terms of features&#x2F;ecosystem), and I opened an issue pointing them at my SDK. I now have a meeting with them next week, and ahead of the meeting I&#x27;m curious to hear what other OSS maintainers&#x27; experiences have been with collaborating with large companies. Not sure what to expect.<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jlevers&#x2F;selling-partner-api
