Should the links that say “sponsoring” be pointing to https://github.com/orgs/cognitect/sponsoring ? Looks like the sponsorships started today. So I’m guessing that is the case?

that page doesn't show anything to people outside the org as far as we can tell (we have a question in to github about that)

looks great for me though. wish you could see it! :)

maybe there is some checkbox somewhere to check, but we haven't found it

@U5K8NTHEZ What does that page show for you?

thanks! was just discussing w/ gh and seems like it's logged in vs logged out, to be fixed

That's amazing

This is great, and if all these sponsors are truly 6 figures, I'm quite happy about it and what it means for the future of the Clojure tooling and ecosystem.

6 figures is the total, not per person :)

but the idea is that if every company kicked in a small percent of revenue, these people could actually make a living making tools

6 figures is nothing to sneeze at. It can be 1e6, can be 5e6, too.

Ah I see, well I still totally appreciate the move, and it's an amazing gesture of support.

Most developers are being supported at $500+/mo initially

Do you accept nominations?

Sponsorship is not something to apply for. We make decisions on sponsorship based upon many factors.

If you want to sponsor someone, I encourage you to do so! :)

This is such a great move. The stance is super clear. It will be heard. Personally, I have been dancing and singing and hugging my family members for hours now. Still am as happy as when I realized Calva was selected for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️

Are there any plans to sponsor people that are still on the GitHub's waitlist (because their country is still not eligible)?

we are evaluating some alternatives for cases like that

BTW, just saw that you're also funding via Patreon. That's great! I hope other companies follow the example 👍

I want to say thank you to NuBank/Cognitect. I feel immensely privileged for this. ❤️
