I don't think Mark is asking for you or I to fund the exercise. He's asking for the PSF to fund it. I think that Mark's asking price is perhaps a bit optimistic. With the Covid-19 pandemic, lock downs and shutting down of international travel, I expect that PSF conference income will be way down. And income in the previous financial year was not exactly at Facebook levels: Revenue: $3.1 million Expences: $2.6 million Nett income: $520000 https://www.python.org/psf/annual-report/2019/ Mark is asking for half of that, justified that this is the going rate for a full-time developer at one of the top tier tech firms. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/IZGFSDJMVO7UWWPD2WEHUPIVN6SATEJB/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
