PHP 基金会支持开源承诺 ​

PHP 基金会自豪地宣布，我们支持由 Sentry 及其合作伙伴发起的“开源承诺”倡议。此举旨在解决开源软件 (OSS) 社区内的可持续发展挑战，特别是影响 PHP 及其生态系统的挑战。

开源承诺：可持续发展 ​

开源承诺代表了会员公司向开源维护者提供有意义的财务支持的承诺。该倡议旨在防止维护者倦怠，并降低可能影响更广泛技术生态系统的重大安全事件的风险。

包括 PHP 在内的开源软件（OSS）社区面临着重大挑战：

  • 安全风险： 像 Log4shell、XZ 和 Heartbleed 这样的高知名度事件凸显了项目资源不足可能带来的潜在后果。
  • 开发者倦怠： 许多维护者（通常是志愿者）感到精疲力竭，并离开了您可能正在使用的项目。
  • 失去维护者： 维护开源软件的苛刻性质意味着我们看到贡献者随着时间的推移越来越少。

PHP 基金会的作用 ​

As the main funder and steward of the PHP language, we’ve seen firsthand how a lack of funding impacts crucial projects. For example:

  • Core language development: Keeping PHP up to date and improving it takes a lot of time and expertise.
  • Security support: Without enough funding, PHP can’t address vulnerabilities quickly.
  • Extension maintenance: Many essential PHP extensions are struggling to find people to maintain them.
  • Documentation efforts: Keeping PHP’s extensive documentation current is always a big challenge.

如何加入承诺 ​

The Open Source Pledge offers a structured approach to supporting OSS with the following requirements:

  • Minimum contribution: $2,000 per year, per developer on staff.
  • Transparency: Companies should publish annual reports detailing their payments.
  • Direct impact: Funds go directly to maintainers, supporting their crucial work.

Thanks to supporting the PHP Foundation, our major sponsors Private Packagist and Tideways are already part of the Open Source Pledge.

[需要行动] 加入承诺！ ​

We urge PHP-based companies, developers, and organizations to join the Open Source Pledge and sponsor The PHP Foundation.
