Uh, the lack of email was an omission - fixed.
I worked for the past few years on making PyPy & satellite projects more business friendly. We've established a company (baroquesoftware.com), I went to conferences, advertised it etc. Granted, I'm not the right person to do the job - I'm generally a technically-oriented nerd. The community is welcoming for both commercial interest and newcomers and if there are hiccups, we're trying to fix them. This is not an easy project to get your hands dirty, we definitely don't need extra barriers to entry, for example it's extremely easy to get a commit bit on pypy.
There are some spectacular success stories, but even Django had a hard time raising money for someone to work full time on fixing bugs, while noone doubted usefulness of that. Now PyPy is far less successful than django, but it does save companies tons of money.
I would welcome advice/help/whatever in how we can make PyPy more commercial friendly in a way that brings revenue - I'm not interested in making businesses happy for free all that much.
