In plain words
The Year-Long Open-Source Sabbatical is a campaign that supports developers taking extended time away from commercial work to contribute to open-source projects. Launched in 2014, it addresses the challenge of sustaining unpaid open-source development by funding developers for a full year of focused work on community projects. The program is designed for experienced contributors who want to dedicate themselves entirely to open-source software without financial pressure, helping maintain and advance critical shared tools and libraries that benefit the broader development community.

Open SaaS 2.02025 · opensaas.sh · ▲438I launched Open SaaS about a year and a half ago and surprisingly it’s become one of the most popular free SaaS boilerplate starters on github (https://github.com/wasp/open-saas).

We strongly believe working on open source software should be a viable source of income for many more developers. Unfortunately, the following barriers limit the extent of open source funding: - Only a small fraction of open source projects are funded, and most money goes to a few notable projects. - Each project has to market is self to get significant funding. - Large corporate donations provide the bulk of the funding, making it unreliable and unattainable for many. - Finding and supporting each of your dependencies is a cumbersome task. Which ones, how much, and on which platforms? So we…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
