Grape: Are we interested in TideLift?

[dblock]

Are we interested in offering enterprise support for Grape via TideLift? Anyone with experience using the service here for enterprise support? I already sort of make myself available for anything urgent like security patches, but it hasn't really come up.

https://tidelift.com/lifter/search/rubygems/grape claims there's $144.65/month for Grape from Enterprise subscriptions. That's enough for a once a year dinner/drinks for maintainers and regular contributors, for example in New York. I'm happy to organize after the pandemic.

I would need at least a 👍from anyone with r/w permissions here.

Thanks @dblock! I'm happy to answer anyone's questions about Tidelift too 😄

[dnesteryuk]

@phated @dblock Does it imply kind of a paid channel where subscribers will ask question and we will have to answer them?

[phated]

@dnesteryuk No, Tidelift tasks are outlined on https://tidelift.com/about/lifter-tasks - we allow subscribers to contact the Tidelift team with any questions (though this doesn't really happen right now) and we might reach out to partnered maintainers directly, but we don't open a direct support channel.

I would say, let's try :wink:

Same here, although my time is not what is not what it used to for coding and question answering

I'm going to go ahead with this, will post anything related here.

We got $144 for April! I'm throwing a money throwing party :)
