fuck Open Collective Foundation is shutting down

hey @opencollective y'all need to be more transparent! We shouldn't be finding out about this thru random blog posts...

via @Foxboron

(Seems as if other parts of Open Collective are not shutting down, just the Foundation, still super confusing)

Working on an explainer about the OCF shutdown, which does not affect OC, OSC, OCE, OCNZ, or the Social Change Agency UK. But does really impact any charitable collective at the OCF who wants to accept donations past March 15th!

@shanecurcuru @liaizon @Foxboron Some feedback. OC Inc. is operating the platform, but not doing any kind of fiscal hosting. Most collectives at OCF are not Open Source related, a few are.

@shanecurcuru @Foxboron hey @opencollective I just finally got the email about this. you should really make a post about this here, even just posting a link to the announcement email is better then nothing. I can only see you are responding cause I am being mentioned in these responses but other people following you are probably not seeing this.

@liaizon @opencollective @Foxboron lol yeah that's a really badly named blog post. I don't think this affects most people using OC

@powersource it affects 600+ US based collectives...

@liaizon Oh fuck. I'm suddenly happy we didn't move @velvetyne donation system to Open Collective, as it was evoked at some point.

@triple @velvetyne looks like its only the US nonprofit fiscal host thats shuttering so maybe you eouldnhave been fine but still shows some bad management on their part

@liaizon
Not Open Collective the platform, but the Open Collective Foundation, one of the nonprofit orgs which acts as afiscal sponsor for projects through Open Collective

@_dmh @opencollective @Foxboron yeah I figured that out after I posted this. I updated my post. Its still a significant part of OC that the main company needs to be clear about.

Sad but true, the announcement from OCF came a bit as a surprise. Proper communication is under way.
