Update: a few hours before the deadline, we reached the goal!!!
This week, the #Python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work.
So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵

You can get more information about what happened with the grant here, and how the PSF is standing up for the community despite the cost: https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/27/python_foundation_abandons_15m_nsf/

You can donate using one of the methods here — https://www.python.org/psf/donations/ — or if the methods listed there don't work for you (in particular, if PayPal is a problem and you're not donating enough for a wire transfer) https://github.com/sponsors/psf is also an option.

Send a screenshot of your receipt via Signal to glyph.99, or here in a reply. We'll match in 6 days, when we'll post our own receipts. It's a bit easier for me if you include personal details in the screenshot so I can avoid double-counting. I won't share anything except with the other matchers.

My original thread is here: https://mastodon.social/@glyph/115453574272465088 but this is a cleaned-up and much shorter version for easier sharing with relevant details closer together.

Have you been considering donating, but worried that we might be running out of space? Worry not! A new challenger appears! @Yhg1s has committed ANOTHER $5000 match, raising our total matching funds to $17,000, which (modulo a few additional receipts I need to process) means we are down to 43%.

5 days remain on this matching campaign, but sooner is better, $1.5MM is a lot to replace!

I seem to have really underestimated both the enthusiasm for the PSF's plight and my own popularity here

next time I do this I'm definitely going to come up with an accounting system that is not a manual linda-style tuplespace in a folder full of .png files

Now that the remaining PNG files have been manually OCR'd, the total stands as follows:
We've raised $9238.74 which is 54.3% of our $17000 total. Once again within 24h of a contributor joining the match we are over half full, but we all stand ready to be maxed out so please keep those donations coming!

Update for 2025-11-2: we are currently at $12047.97; 70.9% of the way through our $17000 matching fund. Max us out, folks. Keep it coming. The match will be computed on 11/4 AOE, so you still have a little time, but not THAT much!.
(I should note: if you've already given, please just share, don't give more to break your budget. This is a marathon and not a sprint, nobody should be skipping meals to fund open source security infrastructure.)

Since engagement on Mastodon seems to be slowing down a bit (no shade; there's been a big response, but our networks here are only so big) I tried going over to the Dark Side, to see if there's anyone I could reach there which I can't reach here. If you could boost it over there perhaps the malign spirit that animates its algorithm would be inclined to treat it more enthusiastically https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7390836171733585920/

Update 2025-11-03: thanks to the PSF's boost, we have now received $14622.43; 86.0% of our total match of $17000 . I am hopeful that we can close that 14% gap by tomorrow!

With only a few hours left to go, WE HAVE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE, and fully matched all $17,000! Here is a screenshot of my own match (as I said at the beginning, I was going to give $5000 regardless and $5000 to match, so this is the full $10k).

@Daraf @sicurezza lo so è lo stesso problema di linux, chi arriva a volerlo rprovare ha decine di distribuzioni da cui scegliere e questo è il bello e il brutto dei progetti liberi.
In ogni caso per Matrix io suggerisco a tutti https://Element.io, e solo chi è in difficoltà Element X o fluffy chat.
