No because we have to see how much money we get first. ;) Without knowing how 
much we will get then you can probably assume it will go towards core dev 
sprint sponsorships like the page states. After that probably the PM role we 
have been talking about on the steering council to help sunset Python 2, then a 
PM-like role to help with GitHub issue migration. That's as far as the steering 
council has discussed things with the PSF in terms of short-term, concrete asks 
for money and staffing.

After that it's my personal speculation, but I would hope something like the 
Django fellowship program. If we could get enough money to fund like 4 people 
to work on Python full-time it would be amazing and help us stay on top of 
things like pull requests.

But all of this depends on companies actually giving money in the proper 
amounts in order to be able to do anything like this. I've been told by 
companies they have been wanting to donate money for ages but wanted to make 
sure it was helping Python's development. Well, this is their chance to prove 
they actually meant it. ;)
