The Organization for Ethical Source is the steward of Contributor Covenant, the most widely adopted code of conduct in open source, with 1000s of adopters. We rely on donations to stay operational, pay for hosting and back-office, and most importantly pay our volunteers.
Unfortunately, our money is running out.
