Funded entirely by donations. Open Source Glasgow exists to provide education on open and free software as well as help community groups in Glasgow form online presences (e.g. free websites and training). We also run an open Mastodon server for Glasgow, a Glasgow Matrix server and The Open Guide to Glasgow.
Since operations started in April 2019, we've recieved £12,000 in private donations and £4,065 in anonymous online donations. Recent operating costs are approximately £370/month (see below for a breakdown). You can donate here.
