| Tidelift |
| ======== |
| |
| pytest is a member of `Tidelift`_. This document describes how the core team manages |
| Tidelift-related activities. |
| |
| What is it |
| ========== |
| |
| Tidelift aims to make Open Source sustainable by offering subscriptions to companies which rely |
| on Open Source packages. This subscription allows it to pay maintainers of those Open Source |
| packages to aid sustainability of the work. |
| |
| It is the perfect platform for companies that want to support Open Source packages and at the same |
| time obtain assurances regarding maintenance, quality and security. |
| |
| Funds |
| ===== |
| |
| It was decided in the `mailing list`_ that the Tidelift contribution will be split evenly between |
| members of the `contributors team`_ interested in receiving funding. |
| |
| The current list of contributors receiving funding are: |
| |
| * `@asottile`_ |
| * `@nicoddemus`_ |
| |
| Contributors interested in receiving a part of the funds just need to submit a PR adding their |
| name to the list. Contributors that want to stop receiving the funds should also submit a PR |
| in the same way. |
| |
| The PR should mention `@pytest-dev/tidelift-admins`_ so appropriate changes |
| can be made in the Tidelift platform. |
| |
| After the PR has been accepted and merged, the contributor should register in the `Tidelift`_ |
| platform and follow the instructions there, including signing an `agreement`_. |
| |
| Admins |
| ====== |
| |
| A few people have admin access to the Tidelift dashboard to make changes. Those people |
| are part of the `@pytest-dev/tidelift-admins`_ team. |
| |
| `Core contributors`_ interested in helping out with Tidelift maintenance are welcome! We don't |
| expect much work here other than the occasional adding/removal of a contributor from receiving |
| funds. Just drop a line to one of the `@pytest-dev/tidelift-admins`_ or use the mailing list. |
