The Respair Project

Linux Foundation hosting open projects to protect them from their 'fauxpen' parent companies. This is great, but what if the open was baked into their governance from the start? Bandaid or solution?

Some of the inspiration for the https://www.respairproject.xyz/ came from the lessons we learnt when working in Open Philanthropy.  We saw the frictions first hand when good people had to jump through artificially imposed hoops, created by 'accountability systems'.  1/

We've launched https://www.therespairproject.com/, a web3 project where philanthropy meets decentralization. We are looking for feedback. We have also created a channel to share our thoughts about the project. Check /respair channel

For too long a select few have made ALL of the decisions about who is worthy enough to warrant support, the solutions/incentives have not aligned to create 'better' - we want to look at what better looks like.  Let us know what you think, projects that could benefit, or adjacent ideas.
