funding: 3000USD payment to Geoffrey Huntley

[glennawatson]

@ghuntley maintained this project for many years and setup the open collective.

He left the project back in 2018 but the project still owes him a big thanks.

In part of our community paying it forward I would propose that we allow @ghuntley to withdraw $3000 from the open collective. This is similar to past occurrences for past work.

Please use emoji based on your opinion of this proposal.

Of course @ghuntley's commitment was key. Thanks Geoffrey! You rock!

I feel like this is way overdue. I'm no longer employed at Freshheads, but I was responsible for setting up the initial donations, and I'm confident I can still speak for them to fully support this. 🙂 (Not that you would need their explicit approval or anything, but just to confirm.)

Seems reasonable.

This is the bare minimum that we could do for someone who absolutely poured themselves into this project. We would absolutely not be where we are today without his dedication and passion for open source.

I absolutely agree! Not do diminish the work done by others, but I don't believe this project would be anywhere near where it is now if he hadn't picked it up from @anaisbetts and started running with it.

Thanks everyone. I think the community and fellow backers are happy to provide @ghuntley with this token of our appreciation. Going to close this issue soon.

“Some personal news: https://t.co/FtBJDfJSrJ is happening and the precursor steps to make "@recursecenter but down under" was funded by this @opencollect gift from the @ReactiveXUI community. It's a cool story for a future blog post. Location shot of nearby beach attached. 🙉”
