Being a full-time open-source maintainer is a rare privilege. In the interests of transparency, let me explain a little more about how I am funded. | ||
|
||
## My story | ||
|
||
I had been increasingly involved in open source - and particularly in contributing to the [Nuxt](https://nuxt.com/) ecosystem - whilst running first a creative agency and then a SaaS startup. | ||
|
||
But when I decided (with my co-founder) to shut down the startup, [Sébastien Chopin](https://atinux.com/) asked if he could sponsor me to work on Nuxt. I was already committed to the core team - so it didn't take me long to accept. | ||
|
||
<h2 id="nuxtlabs" class="mb-1"><img src="/img/work/nuxtlabs.svg" alt="NuxtLabs" width="90"></h2> | ||
|
||
The majority of my funding comes from a retainer with NuxtLabs. | ||
|
||
Sébastien Chopin, who created Nuxt and founded NuxtLabs, receives donations via the Nuxt GitHub Sponsors account (and other income streams) and in turn funnels that back into the community, sponsoring [a number of open-source developers](https://github.com/orgs/nuxtlabs/sponsoring) and enabling open-source work. | ||
|
||
I prize my independence highly and deeply appreciate Sébastien's trust. | ||
|
||
## Sponsorship | ||
|
||
While I don't receive any direct funding from Nuxt via GitHub Sponsors, I do have [a number of individual and corporate sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/danielroe) that I value very highly. | ||
|
||
I see [open source as about 'mutual giving'](http://localhost:3000/blog/contributing-to-nuxt#what-open-source-is-to-me) and I appreciate these givers. | ||
|
||
<!-- TODO: sponsor carousel --> | ||
|
||
Their kindness enables me to devote additional time to open source, and to ensure it remains sustainable for me. I am looking for opportunities to thank my sponsors for their generosity, and would welcome ideas 🙏 | ||
|
||
## Workshops and conferences | ||
|
||
I am sometimes asked to give paid-for workshops at conferences, and I receive a share of the revenue of these workshops. | ||
|
||
In addition, conferences cover the costs of my flights and hotel and (sometimes) a speaker's fee. | ||
|
||
If cost is ever a factor, **please ask**. I do not charge for community events, nor do I speak at conferences for financial reasons. | ||
|
||
## Consultancy | ||
|
||
The time I have to work on projects outside of open source is limited. However, real-world projects help keep me relevant and grounded. | ||
|
||
If you think your company would value a consultancy arrangement with me, please reach out. I am looking for: | ||
|
||
- recurring duration (such as a monthly retainer) | ||
- scheduled and measurable contributions | ||
|
||
It is also possible to book a single hour's consultation with me. | ||
