Thanks for working on this, Adi. The research is appreciated. I think the PSF is more closely aligned with our goals at this point than any of the organizations you've highlighted.
In particular, on https://www.python.org/psf/fiscal-sponsorees/ <https://www.python.org/psf/fiscal-sponsorees/> you can see Jazzband and Pallets, which are in roughly the same scale and style of organization as Twisted. I have a strong preference for the PSF since I've had plenty of experience with them and believe that they'd generally be a pretty good steward for the project. -g > On Oct 16, 2022, at 5:27 AM, Adi Roiban <adiroi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Right now, the Twisted legal rights are represented by Software > Freedom Conservancy https://sfconservancy.org/ > > In the last years they were eight too busy to help us. > > This means that we were not able to move in any direction in relation > to raising any money. > > I am writing this, to see if you know any options or any other > organization that would be willing to host the Twisted project legal / > financial part. > > On GitHub docs [0] I found the following alternatives > > * Open Source Collective - 10% fee > * NumFOCUS - I don't know the fee > * Open Collective Europe - 6% fee > * Software Underground - I don't know the fee > > SFC is also on the list. > > Do you have any info about these projects. > Do you have suggestions for what we can do to find a reliable host for > our legal/financial representation? > > ----------- > > Why am I trying this? > In the past, (I think that) we had some successful fellowships > programme in which a few developers were paid to do code review or > help with work that would benefit the whole project (ex migrating from > SVN to git) > > That work was paid from donations. > > In the last 2 years I (and others) tried to get in touch with SFC (our > current legal host) > but we were ignored and nothing was done. > > This is why, my hope is that once we have a reliable financial host we > can continue the sponsorship work. > > -------- > > BTW.
