If there is one thing that has made tech more interesting and inclusive no one would argue about the impact of open source in making this possible. Anybody regardless of their background , gender or race can participate and make contribution to open source projects.
Open source is a term being use to describe the process of making the original copy of a project available to everyone so they can contribute to it, improve it and also have a good understanding of how the project works behind the hood.
Projects whose source code are made open source are refer to as open source software or open source tools .
Open source has been the driven force behind the success of great technologies and tools we use in the world today. Different individuals working passionately to maintain and make meaningful contributions to these tools and technologies so we can always find it available for use.
But how do we compensate the people contributing and maintaining open source projects though this is a voluntary activity but creating a compensation method would increase more participation in open source.
Open source monetization can be viewed in different ways but the main definition of monetizing open source is to reward open source contributors and not by making open source software premium (paid before use) as this would not be beneficial to contributors but the company that owns the project.
Although there are several other ways in which open source contributors and maintainers can earn from open source and perhaps that is the main motive of open_source DAO .
Open_source DAO is a decentralize open source community working collectively on open source monetization by rewarding open source contributors and maintainers with crypto token and sellable NFTs. Join the community on discord server through the link to join in as an early member and contributor (Open_source DAO server )
One of the best way to earn as an open source contributor is by participating in open source bounty programs
