Editing to avoid confusion
Do not confuse Open Collective Foundation with Open Source Collective: https://opencollective.com/opensource/updates/regarding-the-announcement-to-dissolve-open-collective-foundation
This is even more confusing because the org behind Open Collective (opencollective.com) is called " Open Source Collective" whereas the org behind Open Source Collective (oscollective.org) is called Open Collective Foundation.
I believe the author here is confused as well
EDIT: I’m even more confused. Links from oscollective.org point back to opencollective.com. 😵💫
So Patreon is the only workaround atm.
Nope. Just use Open Collective. If you’re a FOSS project, use Open Source Collective. Neither are shutting down.
Luckily not! There’s LiberaPay, which I find preferable to OpenCollective anyway. No confusion with hosts and it’s clearly non-profit.
The problem is Liberapay is that it’s not a fiscal host. i.e.you need to take the money, declare taxes on it etc.
