Hi Folks, Time for a guilt trip that can easily be countered by a small and painless transaction (skip to the end for the link)... ;-)
Do you use Python? (Of course you do!) It's cool to benefit from such a great ecosystem & related infrastructure, right..? As you're all aware, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) support this community and pay the bills for quite a number of aspects of it (eg, who pays for PyPI, core-Python sprints costs etc?). The PSF also gives away most of its money as grants to community based events, educational outreach, conferences (including PyCon UK) and development sprints to groups from all over the world. As a member of the grants working group I see the huge impact such support has for the continued flourishing of Python the language and Python the community. I'm sad (and a tad frustrated) to report that ONLY 52 PEOPLE HAVE DONATED to the relatively modest $20k PSF donation drive. * If you're someone who thinks, "I'd love to support the Python community but I just don't have time to volunteer" -- then making a small contribution via the site linked below is *how you fulfil your desire to support*. * If you're someone who works at a company who makes heavy use of Python and its related infrastructure then please consider making a donation as an individual (after all, your job relies on this community and its efforts) and also encourage your managers to make a corporate donation. * If you're someone who simply doesn't have the spare cash, that's fine! But if you can encourage those in a position to contribute (such as your employer perhaps?) that would be greatly appreciated. Here's the link: https://www.python.org/psf/donations/2018-q2-drive/ Thank you in advance for your support! Best wishes, N.
