💭 A genuine question:
Should the PSF continue to sustain PyCon US directly?
It’s the flagship Python event, but it also seems to consume a large portion of PSF funds with limited benefit for the global community.
Wouldn’t it make more sense for PyCon US to rely more on external sponsorships and partnerships, instead of drawing so much from the PSF itself?
Also, how much support do regional PyCons receive by comparison?
