1 ============== 2 OpenCollective 3 ============== 4 5 pytest has a collective setup at `OpenCollective`_. This document describes how the core team manages 6 OpenCollective-related activities. 7 8 What is it 9 ========== 10 11 Open Collective is an online funding platform for open and transparent communities. 12 It provides tools to raise money and share your finances in full transparency. 13 14 It is the platform of choice for individuals and companies that want to make one-time or 15 monthly donations directly to the project. 16 17 Funds 18 ===== 19 20 The OpenCollective funds donated to pytest will be used to fund overall maintenance, 21 local sprints, merchandising (stickers to distribute in conferences for example), and future 22 gatherings of pytest developers (sprints). 23 24 `Core contributors`_ which are contributing on a continuous basis are free to submit invoices 25 to bill maintenance hours using the platform. How much each contributor should request is still an 26 open question, but we should use common sense and trust in the contributors, most of which know 27 themselves in-person. A good rule of thumb is to bill the same amount as monthly payments 28 contributors which participate in the `Tidelift`_ subscription. If in doubt, just ask. 29 30 Admins 31 ====== 32 33 A few people have admin access to the OpenCollective dashboard to make changes. Those people 34 are part of the `@pytest-dev/opencollective-admins`_ team. 35 36 `Core contributors`_ interested in helping out with OpenCollective maintenance are welcome! We don't 37 expect much work here other than the occasional approval of expenses from other core contributors. 38 Just drop a line to one of the `@pytest-dev/opencollective-admins`_ or use the mailing list. 39 40 41 .. _`OpenCollective`: https://opencollective.com/pytest 42 .. _`Tidelift`: https://tidelift.com 43 .. _`core contributors`: https://github.com/orgs/pytest-dev/teams/core/members 44 .. _`@pytest-dev/opencollective-admins`: https://github.com/orgs/pytest-dev/teams/opencollective-admins/members
