Best way to invest funds in the development of SageMath Inc., SageMath, and CoCalc

[nikkujensen]

I have recently been blessed by the efforts of SageMath and CoCalc.

I am wondering what are the best ways to support these endeavors such that they can thrive long term. It would be great if we could get a discussion going on this so it is clear.

Hi, do you want to video chat sometime? I'm the person who originally started bother SageMath and CoCalc and I'm happy to chat. Feel free to email me at wstein@gmail.com.

For SageMath donations, there's opencollective: https://opencollective.com/sage_math

We have used funds from that so far for:

• this prize: https://www.sagemath.org/development-prize.html
• hosting of https://trac.sagemath.org/

For CoCalc, it's a small startup company...
