This is about to change soon for D. There's WIP to use
OpenCollective
The announcement should happen soon.
Stay tuned!

Here's a spoiler:
1) Andrei does an excellent job at managing his students [1]
and there work over the last couple of months has been
tremendous. As the experiment with UPB was very successful,
there will be more projects like this one and global scholarship
2) The vision document will finally get updated (there have
been a few delays due to holiday, illnesses etc.)

3) More community input (I'm preparing a State of D survey atm)
4) More active voting by the community on important issues
5) Better documentation and overview on what the foundation is
doing
Currently under discussion/work:
6) Using OpenCollective for tracking expenses openly
7) Offering membership packages for companies
8) Doing bi-annual Kickstarter compaigns for important issues
to the community (e.g. "fix shared")

As mentioned above, there's. However, it's not very visible as
a lot of work happens in stealth-mode atm and only a tiny bit
makes it to the DBlog:

Thank you for your post, very interesting background information.
I like 7) and 8) very much! ( 8) needs 4) )
