Has anyone seen (or tried) an #opensourcesoftware governance model that uses a financial market to decide on feature development?
I'm imagining a menu of possible new API behaviors, with stakeholders asked to donate/bid on their preferred behavior. Option which brings in the most money gets implemented.
Seems like it could fulfill some economist's dream of "efficiency" in determining the most valuable use, and maybe also efficiency in pissing off the most users the fastest.
Freedom and Transparency 
#Opensourcesoftware makes it possible to view, change and share code. This promotes #transparency and #security and reduces dependencies.
Collaborative Development 
#OSS thrives on #collaboration: #developers around the world contribute to improving #software.
Cost-efficient and Flexible 
Unlike commercial software, OSS is often free to use and customisable, making it a super cost-effective solution for organisations.
Huzzah!

GitHub fordert die EU auf, Open Source Software direkt zu finanzieren.
GitHub fordert EU-Geld für Open Source 
#GitHub will, dass die #EU einen #Technologiefonds auflegt, um wichtige #OpenSourceSoftware (#OSS) zu finanzieren und die digitale Infrastruktur abzusichern.
Wirtschaft profitiert – Finanzierung fehlt 
96% aller Codebasen nutzen #OpenSource, das Milliardenwerte schafft, doch viele Projekte leiden unter Geldmangel und Einzelentwickler-Belastung. (1/2)

Veto.
For example take Mozillas Firefox.
1) With all these struggles right now and fully open Source, why is there no hard fork based on codeberg?
2) These companies (owned by foundations) may run their own servers and get some customers. That made some money, supports poor people using the software and is advertising/demo.
Hosting and centralizing the most central services.
With DMA, Patriot Act and all this weird spy laws by US gov it is not advisable as Canadian or European to use it.
In the same time we could invest in a tracking free product, no matter how much the creators believe in freedom and independence, but must cooperate with a govs/secret service.
2.2) With the weird software law Switzerland would follow the US surveillance paths what makes it incompatible to EU standards.
Means hard cuts from proton, threema and other software then only pretending security and encryption. Then they must decide between relocation to EU or stay for their gov open HQ.
@avuko @fedizen In my opinion, it should make no difference where (geographically) #opensourcesoftware comes from, because we all use #OSS from all over the world and many #OSprojects are driven by developers from different #countries. - Besides, there are very good reasons to use only technical #EUinfrastructure in the #EU wherever possible.
