>"The model and pitch also came into clearer focus. Truly, it’s simple: if you’re betting your business on a critical open source technology, you

1. want it to be sustainably and predictably maintained; and

2. need occasional access to expertise that would be blisteringly expensive to acquire and retain.[5]

Getting maintainers on retainer

solves both problems for a fraction of the cost

of a fully-loaded full-time engineer. From the maintainers’ point of view, it’s steady income to keep doing what they do best, and to join one more Slack Connect channel to answer high-leverage questions. It’s a great deal for both sides."

I love it!

I love your business model!

More power to you, your company, and other future Open Source maintenance companies!
