NWL2024Концепція «народних грошей» у вільній розробці означає фінансування проєктів безпосередньо зацікавленими користувачами, волонтерами або незалежними фондами, без контролю з боку корпорацій чи держав. Це дозволяє зберегти автономію, прозорість і відповідність інтересам спільноти.<a href="https://bastyon.com/post?s=a18bb38a948fa3ab59c27908092f783d198697cc7a8c81156f3b6f283f8bd3e9&ref=PAFScHnACz3qwomsupS7QyvAB7KifCj7gu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bastyon.com/post?s=a18bb38a948fa3ab59c27908092f783d198697cc7a8c81156f3b6f283f8bd3e9&ref=PAFScHnACz3qwomsupS7QyvAB7KifCj7gu</a>Заголовок: «Народні гроші» у вільній розробці: як користувачі та фонди фінансують незалежні проєкти Вступ: Традиційне фінансування технологічних проєктів часто залежить від корпорацій, державних грантів або венчурного капіталу, що може впливати на їхню незалежність. Однак існує альтернатива — концепція «народних грошей», коли розробку фінансують самі користувачі, неурядові організації та благодійні фонди. У цій статті розглянемо успішні приклади проєктів, які зуміли отримати фінансування без участі великих інвесторів, а також проаналізуємо, чому цей підхід працює.

Blender (Вільний 3D-редактор) 📌 Як фінансували: — Спільнота викупила код у попереднього власника (2002) через краудфандинг — Подальший розвиток підтримується грантами, донатами користувачів і спонсорськими внесками 📌 Результат: — Blender став одним із найпотужніших безкоштовних інструментів для 3D-графіки 2. Godot Engine (Ігровий рушій) 📌 Як фінансували: — Донати на Patreon — Гранти від Epic Games, Mozilla, Facebook — Краудфандинг на OpenCollective 📌 Результат: — Повністю відкритий рушій, що конкурує з Unity та Unreal Engine 3. Signal (Захищений месенджер) 📌 Як фінансували: — Гранти від Freedom of the Press Foundation — Пожертви від користувачів — Фонд Signal Foundation (підтриманий Браяном Актоном) 📌 Результат: — Один із найбезпечніших месенджерів у світі без реклами та монетизації даних 4. Wikipedia (Вільна енциклопедія) 📌 Як фінансували: — Донати користувачів — Гранти від благодійних фондів 📌 Результат: — Глобальне джерело знань, що працює без реклами 5. OpenStreetMap (Альтернатива Google Maps) 📌 Як фінансували: — Гранти від Mozilla, Microsoft, Facebook — Донати спільноти — Краудфандинг кампанії 📌 Результат: — Відкрита карта, що використовується в тисячах застосунків Висновки «Народні гроші» працюють у розробці, коли: ✅ Є реальна користь для спільноти ✅ Прозоре фінансування та автономія від корпорацій ✅ Ефективна комунікація з донорами Цей підхід дає можливість розробникам створювати незалежні продукти, орієнтовані на користувачів, а не на інтереси інвесторів.

INFERNUM1488**"People's money" in free development: how users and foundations finance independent projects** **Introduction:** Traditional financing of technology projects often depends on corporations, government grants or venture capital, which can affect their independence. However, there is an alternative - the concept of "people's money", when the development is financed by the users themselves, non-governmental organizations and charitable foundations. In this article, we will consider successful examples of projects that managed to get financing without the participation of large investors, as well as analyze why this approach works. **Keywords:** <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Crowdfunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crowdfunding</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/CommunityFunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityFunding</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/OSINT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSINT</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/TechFunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechFunding</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Blender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blender</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Godot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Godot</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikipedia</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenStreetMap</a>The concept of "people's money" in free development means the financing of projects directly by interested users, volunteers or independent foundations, without control by corporations or governments. This allows you to preserve autonomy, transparency and compliance with the interests of the community. **Successful cases of financing free projects** **1. Blender (Free 3D editor)** 📌 *How it was financed: * — The community bought the code from the previous owner (2002) through crowdfunding — Further development is supported by grants, user donations and sponsorship contributions 📌 *Result: * — Blender has become one of the most powerful free tools for 3D graphics **2. Godot Engine (Game engine)** 📌 *How it was financed: * — Donations on Patreon — Grants from Epic Games, Mozilla, Facebook — Crowdfunding on OpenCollective 📌 *Result: * - Fully open source engine competing with Unity and Unreal Engine **3. Signal (Secure messenger)** 📌 *How it was financed: * — Grants from the Freedom of the Press Foundation — Donations from users — Signal Foundation (supported by Brian Acton) 📌 *Result: * — One of the safest messengers in the world without ads and data monetization **4. Wikipedia (Free Encyclopedia)** 📌 *How it was financed: * — Donate users — Grants from charitable foundations 📌 *Result: * — An ad-free global source of knowledge **5. OpenStreetMap (Alternative to Google Maps)** 📌 *How it was financed: * — Grants from Mozilla, Microsoft, Facebook — Donate to the community — Campaign crowdfunding 📌 *Result: * — An open map used in thousands of applications **Conclusions** "People's money" works in development when: ✅ There is a real benefit to the community ✅ Transparent financing and autonomy from corporations ✅ Effective communication with donors This approach enables developers to create independent products focused on users rather than investors. **Epilogue** The concept of "people's money" in free development has proven its viability. Successful cases show that projects can exist and develop without the control of corporations, while maintaining independence and orientation to the interests of users. The more people support open initiatives, the stronger the ecosystem of independent software that offers transparent, secure and innovative solutions for everyone becomes.
