Hi folks,
The XSF needs to decide on the future of its fiscal hosting programme.
Apologies for the double post, but Mathieu highlighted that I had
overlooked some communication from Open Collective. They wrote:
In the message we sent, we initially recommended the
$59 / $649 plan because it seemed you were using the Wise or PayPal payout option.
One important part of our pricing is that we're counting "Active
Collectives" which we currently define as having a transaction in the month.
According to this metric, XSF currently have 0 or 1 active collective in the last months,
meaning you should fall on the free tier if you're not using the Wise or PayPal payout
option.

Organizations like the XMPP Standards Foundation are definitely the target audience for
our platform, and generally for our non-profit organization. It would be a shame to have
you leave the platform because of this new pricing. If my explanation above is not enough,
I'm willing to further discuss and find a satisfying arrangement to make sure this
doesn't happen.
Regards,
Matthew
