There is a problem to be solved (how to make OSS sustainable), and I'm both interested in solving that problem and trying different approaches to solve it.

- ubernostrum 10y agoPersonally I'm not opposed to a popcon-style thing that just lets us estimate "X million people use Django". But it's increasingly looking like it's impossible to put together such a thing in a way that's both A) useful and B) not going to cause privacy issues.
