Helping Sustain Open Source with the Linux Foundation

As you already know, March is open source month at StackShare. We’ve now officially released brand new Stack Profiles - a new way for you to share all the open source technology in your stack and why you chose those tools. To add to the open source action, today, we're excited to announce that we have partnered with the Linux Foundation to support the launch of CommunityBridge! 🎉 It's a new platform that empowers developers — and the individuals and organizations who support them — to advance sustainability, security, and diversity in the open source community.

Whether it's a car, refrigerator, phone, or TV, there is a good chance it relies on open source software. So, it shouldn't surprise you that open source powers more than 80% of the technology we all use every day, yet many developers and critical open source projects don't have the resources they need to secure, maintain and advance their code. CommunityBridge is "a multi-service tool designed to help address these challenges and drive future innovation by providing a crowdfunding platform for open source projects that includes daily vulnerability and dependency scanning and mentorship programs to increase diversity in open source communities and help developers of all levels advance their careers - and much more."
