I have nothing but respect and sympathy for @ThePSF in their decision to withdraw from the NSF grant program in order not to compromise on their mission to keep #Python a diverse and welcoming open source community
It's hard to turn down that kind of money
So, here's my .02c for it, metaphorically. I'll personally make a $1000 donation to help fill in that gap. There are certainly 1500 of us who can spare that much, in the global python community. Who's with me?
