Site: Open Collective — OSArch
Proposed by: theoryshaw Date: 2026-05-11 Status: Active — bootstrapped at genesis; community may remove or amend (how site governance works)
Platform: Open Collective
What is this site?
The OSArch collective at opencollective.com/osarch is the primary funding channel for
the OSArch community. All contributions and expenses are publicly visible — who funded,
how much, and when.
Inclusion criteria
| Criterion | Met? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Data is publicly accessible (no API key required) | Yes | All contributions publicly listed |
| Actively used by a meaningful portion of the community | Yes | Primary funding channel for OSArch |
| Activity represents genuine effort, not easily gamed | Partial | Financial contribution is real commitment, but money ≠ participation |
| Platform is stable enough to depend on | Yes | Open Collective is a well-established platform |
| Relevant to the community's actual work | Yes | Directly funds OSArch operations and projects |
Score weight
Current weight in config.yaml: funding_activity: 0.1
Intentionally low — financial contribution is meaningful but should not outweigh sustained participation.
Concerns or open questions
- See Funding signals: merged or separate?
- Should recurring funders be weighted differently than one-off contributors?
- See Should funding have representation beyond a score weight?
