Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...

Liebe Leute,
die politischen Fehler lassen @susannegoetze.bsky.social und mir keine Ruhe: Milliarden fließen in Panzer & Raketen, doch die drängendste Gefahr blenden wir aus: sekündliche Öl- und Gasimporte aus Ländern, die uns erpressen und bedrohen.

🏷️ Reason #3.7.2 why it's critical to clearly and publicly define your #OpenSource project #Governance, for code, distributions, trademarks, and domain names.

And, of course, not breaking norms and cosplaying a public charity while bowing to a sole sponsor over the community. 😢
