Call for open-source work to be recognised as voluntary work for the common good – on a par with voluntary work for community organisations, youth work or emergency services.

    Yes! Signed this a while back I think. Thank you for sharing. It only needs 30k signatures but only 11kpeople have signed since November 2025! Where are the devs?

      You think tax-recongition of voluntary work will lead to people actively seeking voluntary work?

      Do you separate good-faith newbies and slop, or are they the same?

      Either way, current voluntary work for the public good is not being recognized while other is. That seems misaligned.
