What
Replying to @artyom@piefed.social
Recruiting people, allocating resources like dedicated developers for a few months, putting money in infrastructure like CI and hosting resources, have programs in place to reward security issues and disclosures, etc.
There’s a lot of places to use and invest money in open source.
