May Update from OSC
Published on June 9, 2025 by Grace
Hello, OSC community! We hope your June is off to a great start. We’re back with a monthly update, so without further ado, here are a few highlights from May!
📣 Announcements 📣
On the Sustain Podcast
Ben Nickolls and Andrew Nesbitt were on the Sustain podcast recently to talk about Ecosyste.ms, a project focused on improving how open source is understood and funded.
In the episode, they discuss how open source funders can use data to guide their funding decisions to help close the gap between funding the most critical open-source projects and those that tend to receive the most support, and more.

2024/25 Board Report & Strategic Update
We’ve published a two-part update reflecting on last year and sharing what's ahead:
Part 1 covers 2024 trends, finances, and our strategic process
Part 2 lays out our roadmap and finances for 2025-2028.
OSC Docs Refresh
ICYMI: we've made major updates to our documentation. From clearer expense policies to to clearer ways funders can donate to more, things are now better organized and easier to navigate. We'd love your feedback.
