Hi!
It would be super helpful if core devs promoted several fundraising efforts
the PSF has going on. As core developers, your persuasion carries a
different weight - a more significant weight. Feel free to share tweets,
send emails to your organizations, share at virtual events, etc. Adding a
personal story to your shares makes it even more impactful.
*What initiatives are happening?*

*Why is this important? (keeping to the point): *
- The PSF is not going to reach its expected revenue in 2020 nor 2021.
It could equate to a loss of $1.2M in expected revenue.
- Anything we raise will help offset that and will help us:
- preserve our financial reserve
- fund current operations
- help the PSF figure out new revenue streams in the meantime
- fund someone to address the backlog of open issues and unmerged PRs
ASAP
Email me if you have any questions. I will put out a blog next week to
expand more on the "Why is this important" section if you are looking to
read more on the subject.
Thank you,
Ewa
