Ihr habt uns allen schon sehr gezeigt, dass euch die Aufgaben der @ThePSF wichtig sind und habt fleißig gespendet. Vielen Dank dafür von mir!

Aber wir sind noch nicht am Ziel!

Dafür haben wir heute unsere Jahres-Spendenaktion auf https://donate.python.org/de/ gestartet und uns ein ehrgeiziges Ziel von 314.159,26 $ bis zum Ende des Jahres gesteckt.

Erzählt es euren Freund:innen, Kolleg:innen (und der Firmenleitung)! 💛💙

I just self-certified as a #PSF "Contributing Member". "Contributing Members are people who dedicate at least five hours per month volunteering on Python-related projects that advance the mission of the PSF. Python-related projects can be open-source software projects using #Python that you contribute to, Python user groups / conferences you organize, etc."

I plan to mostly work on #MicroPython, for which I do not receive or seek compensation. Multiply that 60 hours a year by a fair hourly rate and it well out-strips the small monetary donation I also made. Yes, it doesn't move the needle on ensuring the PSF is adequately funded, but writing software for the common good is something I've long been passionate about.

Among them, the tiny but mighty PSF team. Now’s the time to invest to enable the PSF to continue its mission.

So if your org runs on Python, please consider sponsoring the PSF: https://www.python.org/psf/sponsorship/

If Python shaped your career, consider becoming a Supporting Member: https://www.python.org/psf/membership/supporting/

And never hesitate to share your “why” via social media, how Python helped you, spread the word.

I’m in. Join me!

Thanks to @glyph 's initiative, I got the final push that I needed to set up a donation to PSF. I even made it an annual recurring thing and also signed up as a contributing member (which I believe I am).

Python has been instrumental in shaping my career, so I should have done this sooner.

Un aplauso a la Python Software Foundation, que ha rechazado una ayuda de millón y medio de dólares del gobierno de EEUU porque para aceptarla tenían que negarse a operar proyectos de diversidad, igualdad e inclusión.

IMO, the PSF has always been the ideal any software foundation should aspire to be. I’m so happy to see them make this decision.

Seit 2012 bin ich Fellow der Python Software Foundation, worauf ich als Nicht-Entwickler immer mächtig stolz war.

Schon lange bin ich nur noch passives Mitglied, dafür aber seit heute noch stolzer.

Yo @ThePSF the vendor you use for the board election ballot is not screen reader accessible. Does that then mean that me and other blind people are unable to vote?

Choked to say the least here...
