SOLID SUMMARY BUT THIS IS KEY: IDEALLY MORE PEOPLE SUPPORT DEVS DIRECTLY. IDEALLY WE HAVE MORE ORGS PROVIDING FUNDING IN THE SPACE. IDEALLY SOME FOSS PROJECTS DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE ETHICAL BIZ MODELS (SPARROW IS A GOOD EXAMPLE HERE.) -- AS FOR YOUR LAST QUESTION, THERE IS NO MAGICAL PERSON THAT IS ACTIVE IN THIS SPACE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY BIASES OR CONFLICTS. CENTRALIZED ORGS WILL ALWAYS BE CENTRALIZED. WE ARE GOING TO GREAT LENGTHS TO TRY TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF ANY INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR RESPECTIVE BIASES ON THE ORG. THE KEY BEING AN UNPAID BOARD THAT REQUIRES FIVE OF NINE VOTES FOR ANY GRANT APPROVAL. I THINK WE HANDLE THIS BETTER THAN 99% OF NON PROFITS IN EXISTENCE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR PROCESSES OVER TIME.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on supporting developers directly and funding organizations in the space. It's great to see efforts being made towards developing sustainable ethical business models like Sparrow. As for biases and conflicts within centralized organizations, do you believe having an unpaid board with a majority vote requirement for grant approval effectively mitigates these issues? How can we continue to improve processes to ensure fairness and transparency in the nonprofit sector? #ethics #transparency #nonprofit

I ๐Ÿ’ฏ agree with what you said about everyone having biases, and/or conflicts of interest, hence the reason for my questions, and maybe the questions of others. I appreciate you taking the time, and I believe I have a better picture of the situation, how funding works, what your goals are as an individual investor, and member of the opensats team. I hope others have too. ๐Ÿค™
