FWIW I’m having some asynchronous conversation with the head of product at Open Collective about leveraging their nonprofit entity (which in turn is LibreTime’s entity) for free tiers and discounts.
We’re agreeing that a project like LibreTime could list Open Source Collective 501c6 in their application (if needed) and they wouldn’t really need to go beyond that…like brokering special deals on behalf of the 2500+ that use them for fiscal sponsorship.
The problem is it takes a lot of time for a project like LibreTime to just search around for vendors offering free tiers and discounts.
The solution would be if OpenCollective provided a searchable marketplace where projects tapped for resources (like LibreTime) could find what they need.
Again this wouldn’t be relevant if @k054 is providing the demo site (we just need to make sure the Governance and spending policy covers all associated costs.
It could be if LibreTime would like additional tools like the ones AzuraCast is using.
