@illustreets Thanks a lot! I’ll separate the list into current and past Meteor devs.
The problem with MCP is governance and formal structure. Right now we are super loose without any formal leadership, etc. If we want to receive money that will have to change no matter what shape the organization takes. There are a few suggestions how to proceed, but no consensus as of yet.

This would have been my exact follow up, but I decided it’s not for me to advance it 
. Formal structure and governance is indeed required for something such as what we discuss here. But that requires time and effort to set up - hopefully there can be financial means to encourage that.
I hope you received positive responses regarding donations in the survey. I’m thinking maybe it’s worth approaching in private anyone who has a stake in Meteor, describing what MCP aims to do, and asking what they would be happy to pledge to help the MCP achieve its goals.
Not a long questionnaire, just asking what is worth paying to ensure we have a healthy list of packages and learning resources, updates to the docs, and so on.
Basically, it’s about assuring that Meteor has a community driven future also. Obviously, its success as a business for Tiny is essential, but a strong community project will ensure Meteor stays rock solid.
So I’m thinking you might get positive answers.
There needs to be money to help with the admin, and then once that’s done, some money to help maintaining the community packages. And so much other stuff.

Count us in as sponsors for that one also, once it’s set up.

Added sponsoring to MCP org repository. I would like to encourage contributors to also include their sponsor links on repositories they work on.

Bumping this! Has anyone else added GitHub Sponsor that should be added to the list?
What about @diaconutheodor? He makes redis-oplog, grapher, countless others. He’s in business for himself but he also contributes heavily to the open-source Meteor community. Not sure if he’s on GitHub sponsors.

I agree 
@diaconutheodor should be on the list and his company cul of coders should be on top of the preferred partners, it is certainly my preferred.

It is all nice that you want @diaconutheodor to be on the list, but I can’t add him until he actually has a donor page.
Appreciate it guys! We currently have an opencollective accounts for packages we open-sourced. I am involved in many many things including launching a new framework, I’d rather have donations to packages themselves rather than me, because if a package gets some $$$ I can distribute it there to evolve it.

Darn it! Looks like the opening post is too old, so I can no longer edit it.
Just saw that @zodern opened a sponsorship account as well:
If you don’t know Zodern is responsible for the recent performance improvements.
