This is a huge deal:
The Open Collective Foundation has just announced: "OCF now offers employment options to initiative workers—with health insurance!" https://blog.opencollective.com/oc-news-nov-2021/
If your FLOSS project is on OpenCollective, you can hire a maintainer as an employee! With health insurance & 401(k)!
This is such a huge step forward for open source sustainability, in particular for projects with key contributors in the United States. Let's talk about why! https://www.harihareswara.net/sumana/2021/11/24/0
