I guess more people might be able to commit to participating when event details are locked down. Bit of a catch 22 for organising.
I don't have a preference on platform (I think kickstarter is best if making a lot of money/getting a lot of backers is the most important thing, which it's probably not here), but I strongly recommend not doing it yourself. :) http://funding.openinitiative.com/ is specifically for open source projects though. PSF will probably contribute a bit too https://www.python.org/psf/grants/ cheers Brianna On 13 January 2016 at 08:54, holger krekel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Florian, Bruno, Brianna, Floris, Omar, all, > > great to hear that 20-26th June could work for you all! > Ronny is missing though and i haven't heart from Anatoly > for a longer time. > > I slightly prefer the june date to attaching the sprint to > EuroPython2016 which i am not sure i'll make.
