I am honored to be a recipient of the Google Open Source Peer Bonus 2023. Thank you Rick Viscomi for nominating me for my work with the Web Almanac 2022 project. I was the author of Security and Accessibility chapters of the Web Almanac 2022.

Google Open Source Peer Bonus 2023 Letter. Dated April 19, 2023. Dear Saptak Sengupta, On behalf of Google Open Source, I would like to thank you for your contribution to 2022 Web Almanac. We are honored to present you with a Google Open Source Peer Bonus. Inside the company, Googlers can give a similar bonus to each other for going above and beyond, so this is just a small way of saying thank you for your hard work and contributions to open source. We hope you enjoy this gift from all of us at Google and Rick Viscomi who nominated you. Thank you again for supporting open source! We look forward to your continued contributions. Best regards, Chris DiBona, Director of Google Open Source

For the last year, I have started to spend more time in contributing, maintaining and creating Open Source project and reduced the amount of contracts I usually would do. So this letter of appreciated feels great and helps me get an additional boost in continuing to do Open Source Projects.

Some of the other Open Source projects that I have been contributing and trying to spend more time on are:

In case someone is interested in supporting me to continue doing open source projects focused towards security, privacy and accessibility, I also created a GitHub Sponsors account.
