Hi friends, there’s been a blog post on FOSS funding recently, which received quite a bit of attention on HackerNews/Twitter and alike: https://medium.com/@nayafia/how-i-stumbled-upon-the-internet-s-biggest-blind-spot-b9aa23618c58#.kf5a41ubn <https://medium.com/@nayafia/how-i-stumbled-upon-the-internet-s-biggest-blind-spot-b9aa23618c58#.kf5a41ubn>
The author Nadia Eghbal (@nayafia) now started a doc on projects that require support. https://twitter.com/nayafia/status/689174577302253568 <https://twitter.com/nayafia/status/689174577302253568> I added pytest to the list and who knows, maybe it will help us fund the dev sprint. @Brianna: I put in the orgs twitter handle to get in touch. Please feel free to update this to what you feel suits best.
