Hi all We are fortunate to be part of the Python Software Foundation (PSF) and even more fortunate to receive donations from Thinkst [1] and from various organizations via Tidelift and GitHub Sponsors [2].
Summary: * At the start of 2024, cash on hand for the Twisted project was at ~$27,000 USD. * We plan to have Glyph as a paid maintainer, 5 hours a week at $100/hour. * Work will focus on code review, merge of PRs, documentation * The paid maintainer will keep the community updated on the progress via blog posts. * Anyone is invited to decide the future of the Twisted project -------- At this point only I and Glyph were involved in the discussions / decision making with the PSF. I know that the communication was not ideal. We have quarterly meetings with the PSF. If anyone wants to participate, let us know and we will ask PSF to send you an invitation for the next meeting The next meeting is scheduled for 7th of July, 16:00 UTC. ------------- We plan to spend that money to pay for a maintainer, 5 hours a week at $100/hour, not to exceed our current budget. The plan is to use the majority of the time to do reviews and merge any PRs that are very close to the point where they can be merged. The maintainer will write a public report / blog post that will support the person/people reviewing/approving the invoices. In this regard, the paid maintainer will also do a bit of community management work. Glyph has agreed to start working as a paid maintainer and he is available starting with June 2025 -------------- I wish that in the near future we can increase the number of sponsors and the number of paid maintainers. For now the only maintainer that expressed the desire to help with paid maintainer work was Glyph. If you would like to work as a paid maintainer, let us know. For now, the only public sponsors are Thinks and SFTPPlus [3] To disclose, I partially own SFTPPlus. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please let us know.
