About OSS Wishlist

Connecting open source projects with the professional services they need to grow, scale, and thrive.

Our Mission

The OSS Wishlist program bridges the gap between open source maintainers and the professional services they need. We connect projects with practitioner consultants who can provide governance setup, security audits, community building, and other critical services that help projects succeed.
