|
|
|
|
**Proposed by:** theoryshaw
|
|
**Date:** 2026-05-11
|
|
**Status:** Active — bootstrapped at genesis; community may remove or amend
|
|
([how site governance works](../../ARCHITECTURE.md#how-should-the-community-decide-which-sites-to-collect-from))
|
|
|
|
**Platform:** [Open Collective](../platforms/opencollective.md)

|
## What is this site?
|
|
|
|
The OpenSourceBIM collective at `opencollective.com/opensourcebim` is a closely aligned
|
|
funding channel in the open source BIM ecosystem, directly supporting IfcOpenShell /
|
|
Bonsai development.

|
## Score weight
|
|
|
|
Combined with `opencollective.com/osarch` under `funding_activity: 0.1` in `config.yaml`,
|
|
or treated as a separate signal — see open question in ARCHITECTURE.md.

|
## Concerns or open questions
|
|
|
|
- Overlap with `opencollective.com/osarch` — some funders may appear in both; deduplication needed
|
|
- See [Funding signals: merged or separate?](../../ARCHITECTURE.md#funding-signals-merged-or-separate)
