+September donations and thank you to the Python Software Foundation!
+====================================================================
+
+Hello everyone!
+
+We would like to show you a short update on the PyPy funding.
+We gathered a total of $15,986 in the month of September and as per
+`earlier agreement`_, the Python Software Foundation donated $10,000
+to PyPy. We would like to thank everyone participating and the PSF in
+particular for supporting the PyPy project and making our work possible!
+
+We've been working hard on the goals outlined in the funding proposals.
+
+* `PyPy Python 3`_ support has been in beta for a while and it's already
+ being used by many people, as seen per the number of reported bugs.
+ We're currently supporting 3.2, planning on moving towards 3.4 in the
+ future.
+
+* Software Transactional Memory has been a successful research project,
+ with `first real world`_ results shown during the Warsaw sprint.
+
+* More detailed update on numpy will be published soon. A little spoiler is
+ that we're planning on addressing matplotlib, scipy and the larger ecosystem
+ to some extent. Stay tuned!
+
+Again, thanks to everyone who donated and happy Thanksgiving to everyone
+on that side of the world!
+
+Cheers,
+fijal
