I don’t have the time to build this myself, but it would likely pay about as much as I do for a podcast sub, for this for conferences like #FOSDEM:

1. Let me make a playlist of all the sessions I am interested in, including the ones I can’t attend.

2. Package up the recordings as a podcast / playlist that I can easily consume.

3. Share a proportion of this subscription fee to the OSS projects as a donation. Base the share on have something like which talks I actually watch.

has someone already built this already?

It seems like all the parts are out there now to build a prototype, and if it lowers the barrier to financially supporting public goods like OSS, I think it’s a good thing.

I really think that one of the barriers to funding OSS with individual donations it’s getting someone to open their wallet for the first time.

If you can separate that from what you actually choose to fund, the problem can be solved in all kinds of interesting ways.

As an example, this I made a decision to start funding OSS I use myself via @ecosystems this year, because it does this.

Let me set a recurring amount , and solve the allocation problem for me, or at least make it engaging.

Don’t me a think every single time about whether I’ll donate and how much - I’ll usually drop out the funnel.

@mrchrisadams there’s a few language specific indexes of conference talks: https://pyvideo.org and https://www.rubyvideo.dev

@andrewnez that’s a good point. Are project talks on these sites tagged in a way that could be linked to their representation on @ecosystems ?

I know ecosystems doesn’t do what I first posted about, but it does solve the allocation problem one way.

@mrchrisadams doesn’t looks like it directly, but often the speaker does have a GitHub link so could potentially donate to the speaker

@mrchrisadams would be great to meet up at FOSDEM and chat about @ecosystems if you’re free

@mrchrisadams @ecosystems Useful! In parts of organisations open source 'does not exist' if there's no contract, which doesn't help visibility. Therefore I advise to list all often used open source software on the list of contracts with an amount to donate via https://funds.ecosyste.ms

@mrchrisadams I have been thinking to do this for a couple of years, but never gotten around to it. I kind of hope someone beats me to it, otherwise I might do it some day ;-)

@mrchrisadams Oh. wait. I actually did it last year. Let's see if I can find the code.
