Hey all,

Lefteris here.

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining:

My intention in joining this program is to make opensource sustainable. I have seen gitcoin evolve through multiple rounds creating new highs in funds donated to projects in each round.

I have also not been shy in criticizing things when I saw either behavior or a system choice that I considered unfair. My values are simple. I want opensource to become the standard because I strongly believe that this field (and any field for that matter) can only progress through knowledge sharing and collaboration that opensource code brings.

One of the main problems that I see gitcoin trying to address is funding opensource and this is what I want to help with since it’s a goal really close to my heart.
