#2That's just sad. Open Source support really needs to be normalized in corporate environment. Now it's more of an exception than the rule.

#3But they can already support like one and a half full time developers. Krita future looks bright.

When corporate support rolls in, project tend to turn sour.
Demand from the corporate entities proceed to dominate rather than voices from individual donations. Its a double edged sword.

#5Curious. After all I've heard about Krita in the last few years one would think at least a couple of larger studios would use it to some extent.

Are they really paying a full time developer only 3000 €/month?
Re: Krita fund has no corporate support
#7I want someone to build this:
SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) are slowly becoming ubiquitus around the world due to regulation.
I want to be able to aggregate all SBOMs within my company, have a small tool that scans my machine and creates a SBOM for all Open Source tools I use (e.g. Firefox, VLC etc.), uploads that to my corporate registry.
This data is then submitted to a donation aggregator which analyzes those SBOMs and distributes my monthly donation across all those projects.
It is so hard dealing with those individual donor portals and various forms to donate to foundations et. al.
If this whole project could be run as a non-profit foundation itself that'd be perfect.

And the examples are? Cause the counter examples are phenomenal like Blender and Linux.

That's because many corporate "donations" are not so much a donation as a way of soft-buying a feature.
It's hard for businesses hyperfocused on short-term gains to understand a long-term value of, for example, supporting an alternative for an industry-dominating Adobe toolkit. But the value is there.

That's a life changing income in some parts of the world, and a pittance for skilled knowledge work in others. I hope it's going towards someone in the former, and making the local market for tech talent that bit more competitive.
