We heard the Bluesky community cares about Open Source, so we showed up 👋 Our endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers is already at $729k, and we're developing a model for distributing our first funding round. Have ideas on how to identify critical OSS projects? We're listening.

We had such a great time at the @convex.dev boba popup last week that we decided to keep it going. At Little Sweet in Mission Bay, ask for the Convex card, and your drink is on us. Doors open at 11 AM. One drink per person while the cards last. Thanks to the Little Sweet team for teaming up with us.
