The PHP #security issue shows once again how much our society relies on mostly volunteer work.
Look at PHP Foundation @thephpf@phpc.social finances:
https://opencollective.com/phpfoundation#category-BUDGET
- Reimbursed $67K on development work this year
- Received: $642,755 last year
Compare these numbers with the amounts companies have made with products & services built upon #PHP. Our digital foundations are built on the backs of #opensource volunteers. Governments & companies need to invest in our common digital infrastructures.

@BjornW@mastodon.social @thephpf@phpc.social I guess, if I had a company relying on PHP (I dont') and paid a employee to contribute upstream, it wouldn't show um in the PHP Foundation budget cc @cadusilva@bolha.one
