De Python Software Foundation (PSF) heeft 1,5 miljoen dollar geweigerd omdat het niet wilde voldoen aan de condities die #Trump er aan koppelde.
Als alle #pythondevelopers ter wereld nu een kleine donatie doen, zijn we er ook.
Dus doneer: https://psfmember.org/civicrm/contribute/transact/?reset=1&id=2

Python Software Foundation wycofało się z przyjęcia grantu na 1,5 mln USD od amerykańskiej National Science Foundation
W oświadczeniu włodarze PSF przyznali, że „różnorodność, równość i inkluzywność to fundamentalne wartości fundacji”.Ich habe eigentlich nichts mit #Python zu tun, aber das Rückgrat das die #PythonSoftwareFoundation zeigt wollte ich doch mit einer Spende belohnen.
Um die eigenen #Werte nicht zu verraten, haben sie sich aus einem Förderprogramm zurückgezogen. Das klingt für uns Europäer vielleicht nach keiner großen Sache. Aber in den heutigen USA? Mutig. Lobenswert.
Meine #Spende ist zwar nicht hoch, aber es geht mir ja auch um die Nachricht die ich denen (hoffentlich) durch das Timing sende. Und es wäre cool, wenn die Foundation in diesen Tagen ein erhöhtes Spendenaufkommen verzeichnen würde.
Vielleicht hat jemand Lust (und die Möglichkeit) es mir gleichzutun?
TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-funding-statement.html 🧵 https://www.python.org/sponsors/application/
... Hey OTOH their election could lead to a splintering ...
- Rust-on-bottom-Python-on-top faction would reach the logical end (of "#RustyPython" with #Python being a thinnest of the thin wrapper), possibly taking rest of existing software with it;
- "AI"-with-Python faction could produce software unable to run on "regular" {C,G}PU of a "reasonable" US$ ~1_000 laptop.
So all may not be bad in the long run.
Franz K's agenda https://www.python.org/nominations/elections/2025-python-software-foundation-board/nominees/franz-kiraly/ is terrible for perpetuation of "artificial intelligence" & the dogwhistle that is in "US party politics inspired “culture wars” wedge issues to the Python forums a distraction, and harmful to the bigger picture".
🚀 Huge thanks to the @ThePSF for their generous support of PyCon UK 2025! 🚀
Your backing is central to helping us create a welcoming, community-focused event for all the Pythonistas who are joining us this year 💙🐍

I am honored that Python Software Foundation announced yesterday that I have been named a PSF fellow member, along with Adam Johnson 🐍
I wrote about it on my blog 👇

The 1st ever #DjangoCon #Africa held in #Tanzania 🇹🇿 last month faced funding issues and subsequently organizing and logistical problems because the #PythonSoftwareFoundation delayed in deciding to approve the organizers’ grant request.

The Grants Working Group could not decide so it was escalated to the PSF Board, who also couldn’t approve in September due to safety concerns (LGBT+ is criminalized in Tanzania).
