# Sponsor Myco and Goondocks Open Source

Hi, I'm Chris Kirby. Goondocks Consulting is my independent software practice, and it is where I build and maintain open source tools for practical AI-assisted development, developer workflows, infrastructure, and automation.

My current focus is Myco, an open source project intelligence system for AI-assisted software teams. Myco helps coding agents and teams preserve the project knowledge that normally lives in human heads: decisions, gotchas, workflows, codebase context, and the tribal knowledge needed to keep real software moving.

I also maintain tools across the UniFi, Home Assistant, and automation ecosystem, including projects that make networks, homelabs, and agent workflows easier to operate safely.

If Myco or another Goondocks project saves your team time, sponsorship helps keep the work moving.

## What Sponsorship Funds

Sponsorship supports the recurring work needed to keep these projects useful and reliable:

- Maintaining the local service, dashboard, MCP server, and symbiont integrations.
- Testing Myco against real coding-agent workflows as those agents change.
- Improving Grove backup, restore, Team Sync, and cloud-agent access.
- Running AI-assisted development, review, smoke testing, release notes, and documentation work.
- Testing live integrations across UniFi, Home Assistant, and automation workflows.
- Keeping the knowledge pipeline current so spores, wisdom, digests, Canopy, and skills continue to evolve with projects.

## Sponsor

GitHub Sponsors is the funding path for Myco and Goondocks open source:

- [Sponsor Myco through Goondocks](https://github.com/sponsors/goondocks-co?metadata_project=myco)

## Project Boundaries

Goondocks is a business, but this sponsorship page is not a sales funnel. It is a practical way to support independent open source work if Myco or another Goondocks project saves you time, improves your workflow, or helps your team build better software.

Sponsorship supports ongoing maintenance, but it does not change the open-source boundaries:

- Myco remains open source.
- Core features are not paywalled.
- Sponsors do not bypass review, safety checks, or data-protection expectations.
- Priorities still follow user impact, project sustainability, and maintainability.

Thank you for helping sustain the project.
