"Elixir for Good" community?

When giving is tied to conditions, it both limits its scope and it leads to waste.

Elixir/BEAM has very broad scope, don’t see a problem here. Maybe the community is not big enough to produce enough volunteers.

Second, I feel that the idea as a whole is inefficient… Suddenly you’re spending more time administering than coding.

I agree. Would be interesting to know how the Ruby team handles this.

Third, where’s the benefit to you?

The thing is not completely selfless. It’s also marketing for Elixir.
