Both to get Framework products and our mission in front of more people and to support organizations that are working to scale people-and-planet-friendly hardware and open source software to more of the world, we make a number of sponsorships each year. This is in the form of both monetary donations and product donations. The list below covers our sponsorships since the start of 2025, and we’ll continue to keep this up to date over time. Note that this list does not include products sent for marketing use (e.g. press units and marketing activations at events) or R&D use (e.g. pre-release units sent under NDA or production units sent to open source software developers and maintainers at Linux distros and other open source software organizations and hardware developers in the Framework community).
We’re sharing this not just for visibility, but also because we want your help in identifying other organizations we can sponsor to help support open source software and hardware development among a broader base of developers and makers and to amplify our mission. If you have recommendations, please let us know by nominating the organization through this form. We can’t promise that we’ll be able to fund each one, but we will explore every nomination.
Conspicuously zero mentions of DHH and Omarchy, which the original complaint spent more time on than Hyprland. Nirav is scared shitless of upsetting the fascists.
I’m hoping that means the list they published is exhaustive and that they’ve been dropped.
The list has $24k for Rails World sponsorship, that’s the DHH Rails conference.
I’d be as happy as anyone if the world stopped using Ruby, so that sponsorship actually pisses me off twice.
They still have the “big tent” Nazi problem?
I’m out of the loop; The what?

Where can I learn more about that?

That’s a pretty heated (and polarized) discussion that seems to have blown up quite recently and is still ongoing.
My take (based on a limited reading) is that framework didn’t fully vet every single dev in every single open source project (including some big and widely deployed projects) they offered support to.
It will be interesting to see how this ends.

Yeah I would have expected some kind of response from them at this point. Very concerning.
Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
nazis are unacceptable to every reasonable person, right?
Obviously.
But I also don’t like to rush to judgement based on partial/incomplete information or accusations that only look at one side of the story.
Which is why I asked for a link to further information and context.
It looks like they’re publishing a list of everything they financially support, and how they’re supporting it.
I see Hyperland but not Omarchy explicitly. It could be that, assuming they’re not lying, they’ve dropped support for the higher level project in favor of the actual thing it’s packaging with Arch. Maybe.
They were never an official sponsor of Omarchy. They did, however send them a laptop once.
Interesting. I know nothing of these projects, so I’m going off what I managed to read on the original post before it bloomed to over a thousand comments.
I think the Hyperland complaint boiled down to “their discord is toxic”.
Omarchy is apparently headed by a nut job.
I don’t know how accurate those statements are, but if they are, I think that’s a move in the right direction.
