What I don't see is where the money's coming from. It's fine to ask, but will anyone come up with that sort of funding?
I don't think Mark is asking for you or I to fund the exercise. He's asking for the PSF to fund it. I think that Mark's asking price is perhaps a bit optimistic. With the Covid-19 pandemic, lock downs and shutting down of international travel, I expect that PSF conference income will be way down. And income in the previous financial year was not exactly at Facebook levels: Revenue: $3.1 million Expences: $2.6 million Nett income: $520000 https://www.python.org/psf/annual-report/2019/ Mark is asking for half of that, justified that this is the going rate for a full-time developer at one of the top tier tech firms. -- Steve
