How Businesses Can Support Open-Source Communities

Businesses can support the broader open-source community, rather than just individual projects, by investing in things like conferences and access to hardware for different developer groups. This helps strengthen the community as a whole and supports the overall innovation commons. For example, one way we’ve chosen to do this at Anaconda is through the Anaconda Dividend Program. It works by donating 1% of our Commercial Edition revenue to the NumFOCUS organization to support various open-source projects and programs. Although we continue to also contribute to projects on a more ad-hoc basis, we felt it was important to establish a way to invest in open source that would support the sustainable, long-term growth of the innovation commons.
