## Donations to Open Source Design Open Collective

- Showing backers from casinos

- Background info: OSD has been getting donations from casinos over the last year and we talked about what kind of orgs we wanted to get funding from.

- We want to try to have the casinos not show up on our github and our website via widgets.

- We agreed to remove the casinos from github Jan has figured this out

- We talked about how to change the website which will move to signal chat and then decided.

- Jan will also open a issue on open collective github re. widget errors.

- OSD running costs is just domain hosting and merch usually.

- AP: Eriol to start a discussion about what we do with funding.
