Here we are again: stunned, floored, full of hope, because of you–each of you wonderful humans in the #Python community. Since we shared the news about our withdrawal from the NSF grant opportunity two weeks ago, we have received over $160,000 in donations across nearly 2000 donors, which includes 313 new Members–WOW!
Thanks to The New Stack for a great article on our decision regarding the NSF funding and the amazing community support in response.
>Yet rejecting the grant created a surge in news coverage, thousands of upvotes on social media and an upswell of donations. Together, maybe that show of support forms a kind of collective answer — an example of how a community responds to a forceful outside attempt to challenge their culture.
