In late 2022, Tidelift fielded its second survey of open source maintainers. Hundreds of maintainers responded with thoughts about getting paid for their work, the security and maintenance practices they have in place for their projects, and where they need help most, along with a host of other interesting insights.
In the fourth of eleven insights of this year’s survey, we asked maintainers why they won't align to industry standards and what support they'd need to consider aligning to these standards in the future.
In this year’s survey, we asked the 48% of maintainers who said they had no plans to ensure their projects align to industry standards to provide their reasons why.
The two most common reasons? They don’t have the time and are not being paid to do the work.
To read more insights from our fourth headline, visit our blog, and to read maintainer responses to all eleven insights, you can download the full survey report right now.
Want the TL;DR? We’re hosting a live webinar on Thursday, May 18 at 3 p.m. ET when Tidelift’s resident data nerd Chris Grams shares the most interesting bits. RSVP here.
