Our mission is to fund critical Clojure open source software.
The Clojurists Together Foundation is a trade organisation, dedicated to funding and supporting open source software, infrastructure, and documentation that is important to the Clojure and ClojureScript community.
Goals
- Support open source software, infrastructure, and documentation that the Clojure/ClojureScript community relies on.
- Provide on-call support and maintenance for Clojars
- Support other community initiatives like Clojure Camp, Clojure/Conj, Heart of Clojure, and Google Summer of Code
How it works
We fund open source projects.
Open source maintainers apply for funding, and if accepted, get paid to work on their project to make it better for everyone. Clojurists Together funds projects in three month cycles and provides annual grants to developers working on a variety of projects. We have awarded more than $1.2 million USD to 92 developers working in 55 countries since 2018.
Member companies and individuals provide input on funding decisions.
Companies and individual developers can sign up for a monthly or annual Clojurists Together membership. Your membership entitles you to certain benefits, including steering which projects and developers get funded.
