PHP Foundation's lone full-timer faces twice the code proposals on $974K a year

The PHP Foundation runs on about $974,000 a year, with one full-time employee looking after a language behind most of the web. Two critical PHP flaws sparked a worldwide patching frenzy this week. One full-timer and 14 contractors keep the language going “We have one full-time staff member (that’s me) and 14 mostly part-time contractors,” Executive Director Elizabeth Barron said Friday in an interview. The board of the foundation is unpaid, and the money comes from grants and donations. The foundation’s Open Collective page shows its yearly budget as $974,057.80. The foundation has raised $3.06 million since its launch in late 2021, spending $2.70 million. With that budget, the $356,614.52 left over will cover expenses for four months.
