I massively contribute to the Common Lisp ecosystem by writing documentation, libraries, software, project skeletons, blog posts [1], creating cool videos [2] and sharing enthusiasm. I use CL in production (for web apps, FTP access, SQL munging and other mundane tasks). I am crafting CIEL, CL but batteries included, to help bootstrapping newcomers to the Lisp world. I am porting my current Python/Django application (a free software for bookstores [0]) to Common Lisp. In doing so, I am enhancing third-party libraries, creating a database admin dashboard, and writing new documentation for web apps in Common Lisp. I am a committer to (200+ commits since 2021) and a co-maintainer of the Lem editor. For example, I wrote its git plugin.
My free software for bookshops currently helps associations and professionals in France, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Greece, and maybe elsewhere. It is the only one of its kind.
Sponsoring me DOES count because I currently don't have a fixed, nor big, income. Sponsoring me also supports the wider Lisp ecosystem. I have already paid other lispers. If we reach the goal of 100 USD/month, I'll add bounties to advance different projects.
Thank you!

[1]: contributions overview: I am by far the main contributor of the CL Cookbook: https://github.com/LispCookbook/cl-cookbook/graphs/contributors I wrote the missing documentation on CLOS, data structures, building a self-contained executable, DB access, deployment, web development, web scraping, GUI libraries, getting started… not forgetting a theme upgrade. I also actively maintain the list of libraries on the Awesome-cl list, and I write and maintain libraries, like cl-str (my first one, fixing the string manipulation issue), cl-readline, cl-ansi-term, lftp-wrapper, cl-sendgrid, fuzzy-match, progressons… 200+ commits to Lem, features, fixes and documentation. I fixed bugs in the Mito ORM, I contributed to more (Djula templates, access…).
[2]: 1) How to create a new full-featured Common Lisp project 2) How to call a REST API in Common Lisp, 3) Interactively fixing unit tests but that's not all, I am creating a Common Lisp video course on the Udemy platform: from beginner to effective programmer. Sponsors can ask for a discount! ;)
