Group together projects we're contributing to on Open Collective

[gusaus]

It's now possible to group together projects on Open Collective. https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/connectedcollectives

This means we can group together projects we're contributing to on https://opencollective.com/openproducer

The process is currently manual and we'll need approval from projects we'd like to support. That said, I'd like to start with projects we're already using or building into our platform https://github.com/OpenProducer/openproducer/issues/2

Here's a running list -

• AzuraCast - https://opencollective.com/azuracast
• Libretime https://opencollective.com/libretime
• Radio Station WordPress Plugin https://opencollective.com/radio-station
• OpenProducer platform https://opencollective.com/openproducerplatform

Grant from Ford/Sloane:
Confirmed funding to help expand Sustain's activities beyond just the yearly summit, including supporting local meetup groups, Back Your Stack, FOSS funds, the podcast, and other related activities to grow open source sustainability.

Once projects we'd like to support are clear on goals and needs, I think there's a good bit of opportunity considering how many folks involved with these programs are in #openproducer.

• Radio Station WordPress Plugin https://opencollective.com/netmix

@tonyzeoli Are you still planning on using https://opencollective.com/radio-station-for-wordpress for the WordPress Plugin? Has Open Collective not approved as host? https://opencollective.com/opensource

If not, we should def followup again in their support.

@gusaus Looks like it's at https://opencollective.com/radio-station now.

Thanks @majick777 - this task is very low priority and I didn't go back and update the list here. BTW - a very important team member is missing https://opencollective.com/radio-station

Same thing on https://opencollective.com/openproducerplatform where I invited you and @tonyzeoli to the team. Benefit of the latter is the team on https://fundoss.org/collective/openproducerplatform will suddenly be legit. And if Netmix owns it we could also work in Netmix branding and also reference Radio Station and Radio Station PRO when it launches. The FundOSS page is essentially pulling in whatever is on the collective.
