[Twisted-Python] Participating to GitHub Sponsors
Hi, Does anyone have anything against applying so that Twisted can be on the waitlist of the GitHub Sponsors ? https://github.com/sponsors/twisted/waitlist As far as I know, the money for the Twisted project is managed by the Software Freedom Conservancy organization and they are already approved hosts for GitHub Sponsors. At this point, we only need to press the green button. The bank account and other administrative issues are already sorted out. ------------ If there are no complaints , I plan to press the green button in 1 week. We will then have to see how to access those funds via Software Freedom Conservancy... but that is part 2. Cheers -- Adi Roiban
No objection, but any plans for the money? I'd ask for more reviewers, I'd like to contribute more to twisted but there's little point without access to code review in a reasonable timeframe. On 16/12/2020 11:56 am, Adi Roiban wrote:

The money is first allocated to keeping the lights on (i.e.: paying for the infrastructure required to host twistedmatrix.com <http://twistedmatrix.com/>). If we manage to raise enough to go beyond that, then if we can clear the procedural hurdles necessary to spend money (i.e.: the current "project leadership committee" is more than half made up of people who are a. no longer affiliated with the project and b. never answer their email at this point, so we need to sort out some way to resolve that with the Conservancy) we will likely run another Fellowship program - you can see the results of previous programs on https://labs.twistedmatrix.com <https://labs.twistedmatrix.com/>, and yes, it's mostly hiring someone to accelerate code review. -g

First we need funds... I am sure that we will find a way to spend it well. Trying to see if we can solve the reviewing queue with money is one option... but is not that easy. I am available to review one of your PR in exchange for another review :) Regards PS: If you have any conch-ssh PR, send me a message and I will review it (for free... no reviewed asked in exchange)

It usually for a sponsor to ask what the sponsorship will be used for. I'd assume that twisted projects needs a plan for how to spend the money to share with the sponsor. Barry

Hi Thanks Barry for the feedback, I have pressed the green button... then then I was asked to enter more info and press more green buttons :) I wasn't aware that this is a clone of patreon.com ... I ended up with this https://github.com/sponsors/twisted?preview=true ---- The page is not active as it asks for a Stripe payment API...but I think that is for individuals and not organizations. So we might need to get in touch the the Freedom Software Conservancy to sort this out. More info inline... On Thu, 17 Dec 2020 at 12:00, Barry Scott <barry.scott@forcepoint.com> wrote:

I agree that this is backward. At this point we are not asking for money ... but will do soon. This is just a discussion for a future money raising effort. First question was whether to enable future donations via GitHub and then via Stripe and then via the Software Freedom Conservancy. I think that this is answered. I think that is worth exploring the fundraising option and also to check that we have any luck in getting a plan approved. There are a couple of issues that needs to be solved and the GitHub process can act as a guide... but we need: * 1. creating a plan * 2. finding someone to approve it * 3. finding a way to fund the plan Cheers Adi Barry
