Here are some quick stats on the Open Source Public experiment that we started six months ago.

• Including the test run, we invested $746 across 20 open source collectives.
• As a side marketing experiment, we decided to invest $1 per new Twitter follower. However, we only gained 26 new followers during this time, suggesting that this side experiment hasn’t had any impact so far.
• One surprising stat is that almost half of the collectives hadn’t received any donations before, and we were the first to invest (9/20).
• The last stat, the average “estimated annual budget” of all collectives, is $3.667.

We plan to improve the list and the score calculation in every iteration. As usual, please feel free to share your valuable feedback.
