We can all help to change that, within our own organisations! I did my bit at JPMorgan 8 years ago, convincing the tech leadership team to sponsor PyCon UK, plus a recruiting stand and supporting a group of junior developers from all JPMorgan's UK locations to attend. I left JPM 5 years ago now, and they are still PyCon UK's headline sponsor. Compared with the enormous benefit we got from Python and its open source ecosystem, it was a totally negligible cost.
