+The [Open Source Pledge](https://opensourcepledge.com/) is a group of companies working together to change the status quo in Open Source sustainability. After launching six months ago we have now grown to [34 companies](https://opensourcepledge.com/members/) who have collectively paid maintainers $2,650,212 in the past year.
