Open Collective's funds for open source

Open Collective has put out an announcement describing its "Funds for Open Source" initiative, which is aimed at making it easy for corporations to fund the work of individual developers. "Big companies call the process for paying for stuff 'procurement'. It’s often pretty involved, with contracts, invoices, purchasing order numbers, and bureaucracy—a painful thing to go through repeatedly for small amounts. It's practically a blocker. It is so much simpler and more practical to ask corporations to make one large payment, to one vendor. Make it easy and companies will invest more."
