Message-ID: <906811d9-1ee9-8bbd-0807-a2ba292aec2e@ntoll.org> 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!

The Python site seems unfortunately to be a bit of a mess regarding donations. The site says "donate $99, become a 'Supporting member'", but it is extremely unclear what that means, what are the consequences of being one, can a corporation be one - none of it is explained anywhere, including the "Membership FAQ" page. The "sign up as a member" page https://www.python.org/users/membership/ does not work (just takes you to a login page). The "sign up as a supporting member" page https://www.psfmember.org/user/register does not work ("unable to accept new submissions").

In response to your other points (all completely true): The login page for "sign up as a member" also has an option to create an account on the right side. Creating an account of the python.org web site is the first step. Once you have created an account hitting the membership link will take you to a page to confirm basic membership. Supporting memberships are intended for individuals. The fee supports the PSF's mission and confers the right to vote in PSF elections. Companies should consider sponsorship - https://www.python.org/psf/forms/sponsor-application/ I do appreciate that all the instructions could be clearer and the process streamlined at all levels. Sadly we are not yet at the point where we have the staff to do all of the things we'd like, particularly with the hectic run up to PyCon. I hope this helps and I hope that everyone will consider helping us with this funding drive.
