Actually I'm pretty sure it could be done even if DSF kept a profit, to re-inject it into other developments for exemple. AFAIK the major difference between non-profit and company is that you don't own it and as such you cannot take dividends out of it personally. IMHO everybody would benefit

This reminds me when m$ agreed to sponsor an open source rewrite of one of their languages, and asked the devs to reproduce the same bugs that were in the closed source version, and then went on and sold that as a feature. If there are people who are willing to maintain old versions for money

Oh, one more thing. I'd like to make this a "Public" team. I think there should be some visibility and recognition for the folks who work so hard on keeping Django strong. As part of that I'd add it to the Teams list on djangoproject.com, and maintain a list of previous members, for those who

I’ve moderated a couple small-medium forums (2k-8k) members as well as participated in many online. I am in favor of moving to a forum system for a lot of reasons. I’d be curious who would be the community manager(s) (not moderators per se) and if the tone would be similar to the docs and wiki or

I'm not necessarily opposed to this, but I am a bit skeptical of the long-term archival utility of forums, in large part due to my experience as a moderator of some decent-sized ones. I think making them useful for that purpose is going to require about the same level of manual curation as, say,
