> Who has verified/signed off on all this exactly? Financial details have presumably been checked with the treasurer? Have MWG checked the details of the membership tiers?

Part of [OSMF Board Meeting 2025-07-31: Potential funding source - FLOSS/fund by Zerodha](https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board/Minutes/2025-07#Potential_funding_source_-_FLOSS/fund_by_Zerodha)
(pending Dorothea to add results from meeting)
for information only; I personally do not know if it is approved yet.

See also [Sharing funding opportunities for development and OSMF](https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/sharing-funding-opportunities-for-development-and-osmf/112275), [2025 fundraising drive](https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board/Minutes/2025-06#Fundraising_drive)

> Not sure how @Firefishy will feel about continuing to promote the bitcoin address...

Up to OSMF's willingness to keep it.

> Thinking about it this will probably have to be done via https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/ and not here as we don't want other people running this code to be publishing this without realising.

> Frankly the whole thing of publishing a JSON document nobody will ever read seems weird and I have to wonder about an organisation that requires it to consider applications...

Also, actual page could maybe be hosted at separate (temporary) domain (ie. GitHub Pages).
(though not sure if it will be accepted)

Regarding the file, @Robot8A could ask them if needed
- [repositoryUrl](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/6275/files#diff-47ea848c23759fc9f2124f0c673027f969e6a06820743afb7df3e9a20dda3ba6R23) do they prefer GitHub or similar?
if so, they might allow to link to the organisation rather than single repository.
S: [...]`github.com/openstreetmap`
> URL of the repository where the project's source code and other assets are available.
- [licenses](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/6275/files#diff-47ea848c23759fc9f2124f0c673027f969e6a06820743afb7df3e9a20dda3ba6R27) do they prefer (also) codebase licenses (when it is not solely a database)? Anyhow, it seems they suggest some formatting
> The project's licenses (up to 5). For standard licenses, use the license ID from the SDPX index prefixed by "spdx:". eg: "spdx:GPL-3.0", "spdx:CC-BY-SA-4.0"
S: ie. `spdx:ODbL-1.0` (ref https://spdx.org/licenses/ ); assuming
- [history](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/6275/files#diff-47ea848c23759fc9f2124f0c673027f969e6a06820743afb7df3e9a20dda3ba6R186) empty; optional, so might be redundant.

Otherwise seems to be quoted text; someone else could look at the specification if it is incomplete / requires modifications.

Sidenotes:

- OSMF also has a GitHub Sponsor page at https://github.com/sponsors/osmfoundation
(barely used, indirect, might take part of donation); subject to OSMF's willingness to keep it.
They have not linked

- Not to be confused with file which allows adding a Sponsor button on repositories
GitHub allows users to add a custom sponsorship/donate/donation link button to their repositories.
