- darkerside 3y agoThey can. They feel entitled to funding. Rightly or wrongly, I don't know.

- kabanda1 3y agoWe always have local python conferences in Africa without any outsiders financial contribution. The reason why they expected the contribution is because they are sort of official
- darkerside 3y agoBeing "sort of official" doesn't really seem like it should guarantee much of anything

One way to think about this situation is that the PSF exists to promote Python. If their slow grantmaking process is giving organizers such a headache that they wish they just didn't organize Python events, the PSF is failing at its mission.
