nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f is a unpaid 100% passthrough volunteer organization.

The whole team genuinely cares about the mission.

We have extremely very diverse opinions and backgrounds and very limited operational resources for the volume of applications.

No application is decided by a single person. We also have committee of also volunteer peers who also opine and vote. Once the committee votes with soft ACKs. We have a minimum of 5 positive votes by the board for approval policy.

Everyone and their applications are considered! But we are not going to fund everything. After careful volunteer time is used for reviews a vote is made.

There are many orgs with different methods.

No one is entitled to be funded. Pro tip, be graceful. Aside from being extremely unprofessional to shit on OpenSats in public, you are shitting on unpaid ppl who are trying to do their best and are not perfect. We simply don't have the time and resources (and shouldn't waste money) on giving each and everyone a very detailed feedback. we are talking about hundreds of applications and a dozen ppl here.

Criticism is very much always welcomed and encouraged. We need to know what we can do better.

If you truly care about improving, send a fucking EMAIL. Bitching in public only hurts the ppl who are doing the work.

The FOSS funding will continue until freedom improves ✌️

nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm brought up a really good point (though I know very little details beyond their response to this thread https://primal.net/e/note1d9ca5vcpyrlhw7npt6mx2p3vh043zfzxfgj68takdnmjy96x94zsnevj5d)

If someone's application is rejected, isn't it within their right to broadcast the contents of their application, and to voice their frustrations with the OpenSats system?

Again, I don't have all the details here, but I'd think a bit of open criticism, or, ahem, "bitching" as a direct quote from nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8, would potentially improve the system by putting a bit of public attention on a failing point of OpenSats?

Of course it's within their "right" but it's still poor form, rude and unprofessional

on a centralized platform, there is a chance they wouldn't be able to complain about it. luckily, he's free to do so.

Demanding of both someone else's time and their money and acting entitled about it is not a "failing" of those being demanded of.

And of course it is their right to say whatever they think, but in my opinion it is of extremely poor character and will only reflect on them, not OpenSats.

Nobody is owed anything, not an explanation, not a thorough analysis of their project. Nothing. Do you even comprehend how much time and energy it would take to do that?

what's the failing point?

Hell, I barely even "voiced my frustrations" beyond mentioning that you just don't get any feedback on how to improve.

I just reread the post-in-question. Totally with you on that one. https://primal.net/e/note1rf5frvx86d6n99d6sntjsxenjrmgzpm4qht7hzersyx6h87dzryqvnmgud
