The PSF has not really sponsored CPython so far, and PyCons are for self promotion.
Often in OSS foundations the entire sponsorship money goes to people who don't deserve it.
Please do not attach any meaning to corporate sponsorship of foundations unless you can point to a specific project.
99% of CPython has been written by individuals without any compensation who don't get any credit. When a corporation gives money to non-productive bureaucrats everyone thinks they are helping open source. It is very sad.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoAgreed with your comment. There are public reports of PSF, 75% of expenses go to US PyCon. https://www.python.org/psf/annual-report/2020/ https://www.python.org/psf/annual-report/2020/
- neolog 5y ago> In 2019, PyCon US generated 63% of the PSF’s revenue.
- rpl101 5y agoWhich makes it even more surprising where all that money goes. Hint: It is not CPython development.
- KptMarchewa 5y ago63% of revenue and 75% of costs.
