There is an ongoing OSS maintainer burnout crisis. A new report reveals that a significant portion of developers have experienced burnout, with most of them being unpaid and very close to quitting.

Luckily, all's not lost. With proper funding, support, and recognition, there is a chance this crisis can be handled.

Alongside releasing that report, Sentry and the Open Source Pledge also announced something very wholesome.

Celebrate Thanksgiving, The Open Source Way

Cranberry sOSS is a real jar of cranberry sauce that Vlad-Stefan Harbuz, Studio 404, and the Open Source Pledge team created to help open source maintainers. All proceeds made from this will go directly to developers.

Funding distribution is handled systematically, with thank.dev's dependency analysis model being used to identify the most depended-upon open source maintainers globally. The complete list of beneficiaries is public on the funding distribution page.

The creators acknowledge "no model is perfect". But they believe the weighted distribution approach makes sense for supporting foundational maintainers who keep the internet running.

As for the sauce, it contains fresh cranberries sourced locally from Cape Cod. Other ingredients include organic cane sugar and water. It is gluten-free, sodium-free, and certified organic too.

This can be a lovely addition to your Thanksgiving table in seven days; it should go well with sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and turkey dinners.

Let the Celebrations Begin

A jar of Cranberry sOSS costs $13.37 excluding shipping. You can order through the Sentry Shop. Cranberry sOSS ships internationally, though some countries are excluded, and thanks.dev handles all payment disbursement to the selected open source maintainers.

PS: Keep an eye out for some genius copywriting on the product page. The pricing itself is an obvious one.
