Sourceware: Funding the core toolchain infrastructure

[Mark Wielaard]

Hi core toolchain and developer tool hackers,

Start of this quarter we launched a Fundraiser for Sourceware:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/20260709005228.GN21398@gnu.wildebeest.org/

This has been an enormous success, with ~$12,000 raised we already got
2/3rd of the budget for individual and corporate donations and
sponsorship for our 2026/2027 financials in just one quarter.

This quarter we got ~$2800 through 68 individual donations by 56 people
for an average of ~$40 per donation of which ~$250 are recurring per
month. https://sourceware.org/donate.html

And three more companies joined Red Hat and OSL as Sourceware partners
through the new sponsorship program.

Open Source Security joined as a Supply Chain Defender.
BayLibre and Suse joined as Infrastructure Supporters.

We like to thank the Software Freedom Conservancy, our fiscal sponsor,
for all their help. So after you make your personal donation to
Sourceware, please go to https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/ and
become an SFC Sustainer so they can help more project like ours.

Thanks from the Sourceware Project Leadership Committee,
