Call for open-source work to be recognised as voluntary work for the common good – on a par with voluntary work for community organisations, youth work or emergency services.
I don’t want to think about the number of slop PRs this would generate.
You think tax-recongition of voluntary work will lead to people actively seeking voluntary work?
I don’t think “lazy people” or uninterested people will go out of their way to do voluntary work either way.
Do you separate good-faith newbies and slop, or are they the same?
Either way, current voluntary work for the public good is not being recognized while other is. That seems misaligned.
signed it, thanks for sharing!
Yes! Signed this a while back I think. Thank you for sharing. It only needs 30k signatures but only 11kpeople have signed since November 2025! Where are the devs?
