Within Wikimedia CH, this is an idea that we have
discussed a few years
ago: how can we support software and other communities that our
community depends on, while avoiding to just give away money. In the
end, we supported financially one edition of the Libre Graphics Meeting.
That's a great choice! LGM is a fantastic meeting and directly relates
to tools that support content contributors in our projects.
As an aside, coming back to software, I have noted
that the WMF gets
gets a special thank you note on the git-annex web page
(
https://git-annex.branchable.com/thanks/); is it a tool that has been
supported financially ? (and, I assume, a tool that the WMF uses
regularly) ?
As I recall we contracted with Joey (the maintainer) to do some
development work that relates to the git-based deployment tooling we
use for some services.
Cheers,
Erik
