@swelljoe@mas.to That's a list of the sector of organisations that belong to the LF. This is the budget breakdown, which shows 3% being spent directly on the kernel. Some amount of the funding for other projects is also going to contribute to the kernel in various ways. But, fundamentally, the LF is a trade organisation and an umbrella for multiple other foundations. A lot of the money given to them is earmarked for specific purposes, they can't just choose to spend it on the kernel.

@mjg59@nondeterministic.computer I can't find explanation of what that chart is in the the text, so I'm not actually sure what it represents. "Serving Nearly 1,500 Open Source Project Communities" makes me think "giving some kind of support to" rather than "receiving some kind of support from". And "Communities" aint got money. I assumed the big "Project Support" category was what the "Serving" chart applied to. So, is it misleadingly labeled? Am I missing somewhere in the text the chart is explained?
