The Open Collective Platform is moving to a community governed non-profit!

A group of fiscal hosts representing thousands of collectives have created a new independent, community-governed, non-profit organization and have reached an agreement with Open Collective Inc. to take over the Open Collective platform as it exists today.

Here is Open Collective statement regarding OCF dissolution news https://blog.opencollective.com/open-collective-official-statement-ocf-dissolution/

To ensure the transition from OCF (Open Collective Foundation) is as straight forward and easy as possible, the Open Collective Team has been working to determine the best course of action. All details in our latest blog post. https://blog.opencollective.com/fiscal-host-transition/

@Brendanjones As a platform, we're not charging Collectives and usually rely on voluntary tips ("Platform Tips").

However, most Collectives prefer to use the services of a Fiscal Host (or fiscal sponsor) which can usually charge anywhere from 2% to 10%.

By default, we claim a small portion of that percentage but also have custom relationships with some of the Fiscal Hosts.

@Brendanjones As a matter of fact, we're not a co-op at this point. However, we're currently working toward a similar goal, we name it "Exit to Community" #e2c https://opencollective.com/e2c

@stackaid @voxpelli @clacke Happy to help you match dependencies with their Open Collective (if any). We can look at some data set and see if we can find some that you don't already have.

Honored to have @elk on Open Collective ! One of the most promising web based Mastodon client.

Support them ! https://opencollective.com/elk

As a first step, if you tag your Collective with "mastodon" or "fediverse", Open Collective will show up a "Share on Mastodon" instead of Facebook.

We did this as quick answer a few weeks ago, we need to think about a better long term solution.
