Andrew Kuchling<p>The Python Software Foundation just had to pass on a US$1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation for PyPI maintenance. One condition of the funding was that the PSF drop any DEI efforts, and if this condition is violated, the NSF can claw back the money even if it's already been spent. That clawback is too risky, so the PSF had to pass on the funding. (This is pretty shameful: PyPI security is a broad benefit, but of course the administration prefers to grind its own ax here.)</p><p>If you develop <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> code or rely upon it for your business, it'd be great if your company could become a sponsor of the PSF, or if you could donate personally to the PSF. </p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@ThePSF/115446659195456270" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fosstodon.org/@ThePSF/11544665</span><span class="invisible">9195456270</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/PSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSF</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/NSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NSF</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/PyPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PyPI</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diversity</span></a></p>
