Following the tradition I started in 2023, I kept track of all the community contributions, participation, and collaborations of 2024 (monthly distribution in the plot)

Compared to the 531.7 hours I spent during 2023, I spent 650.4 hours in 2024 which is a 22% increase.

We couldn't believe it, the response from the community was amazing. A few companies showed their support, so we believe a few more could make a difference now into getting us to the next goal.

You could donate at least 10 EUR, for the PSF, which is cheaper than some subscriptions out there!
🧵 THANK YOU!! WOW! We hit our initial fundraising goal of $314,159.26 🌠 We're bursting with joy and hope- & we're not done yet!

Thanks to you, we’re rolling out two new goals:
400k (stretch)
512k (super stretchy!)

Can you help us hit our super stretchy goal? Read on ⬇️

As the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser this month, we want to “connect the dots” and share a full picture of our current financial outlook: what’s happening, why, and how you can help sustain the future of Python and the PSF. 🧵
Connecting the Dots: Understanding the PSF’s Current Financial Outlook
As the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser, we want to share information to help “connect the dots” and show a more complete picture of the PSF’s current financial outlook. You’ve heard from us on subjects related to our financial position from several different angles recently (a list of those posts is below). We’ve prioritized proactive communications, because we believe in transparency, we have trust in our community, and we value keeping you informed— we know how invested in and impacted by our work you are. We now want to pull those threads together in order to create some shared clarity on the big picture, and, hopefully, inspire you to action to support our fundraising efforts.

Archive formats like ZIP and tar can be abused to undermine the integrity of Python package users 📦 Learn how PSF Developer-in-Residence Seth Larson is strengthening Python's security with the #Python community in the new white paper "Slippery ZIPs and Sticky tar-pits" with Alpha-Omega:
Improving security and integrity of Python package archives
Security and integrity of the Python packaging ecosystem is critical, and the smallest unit of a packaging ecosystem is a "package". Python packages use existing archive formats like ZIP and tar to distribute Python projects to their users. Archives seem simple on the surface, but many ZIP and tar features can be abused to confuse implementations into seeing different contents of the same archive.

Getting funds by removing an important part of your mission statement should be a deal breaker for any non-profit. The PSF is not the first one in this position, and might not be the last. A "diverse international community" is something we should take care of.
