Fwd: Passing along a message to PSF-supported communities?
Hey folks - This is the FOSS Responders group I mentioned during the board meeting. In addition to providing organizations with financial support (which the PSF will be applying for), they are also supporting individuals through something similar to a grants program (I am volunteering on the individual grants team!). I think it is a great idea to share the below communication with our community. Does anyone have any issues or concerns? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Joshua R.

To: Ewa Jodlowska <ewa@python.org> Hi Ewa, it's so nice to see you on the FOSS Responders calls! I was *over the moon* to hear that PSF has gone from pulling $600K out of reserves down to under $200K. I'm working on the FOSS Responders outreach team and we're trying to get the word out to as many projects and communities as possible about the opportunity. I don't know if this is a good fit for you to pass along, but if it is, here's some pre-baked copy we put together that you can use :o) -- COVID-19 has impacted all of our lives including our projects, community members and organizations. We encourage you to seek support from FOSS Responders <https://fossresponders.com/>, who can help you and your community: - Connect with funders via the May 22nd FOSS Funders event <https://opencollective.com/foss-responders/events/virtual-funding-event-q2-2020-4edd1e3a#section-about> . - Amplify your crowdsourcing campaigns <https://fossresponders.discourse.group/t/foss-crowdfunding-campaigns-that-need-your-help/61> . - Gain access to emergency funds via the FOSS Responders Fund.
