Thanks to 2008 Donors

From figures supplied by the Treasurer it appears that the PSF received donations totalling $23,807.65 in 2008. The smallest donation was one cent, and the largest was $2,052. We are grateful for them all. As a non-profit it's important for the Foundation to maintain what's known as the public support ratio, to retain our non-profit status.

I realize that times are hard right now, but if you are feeling at all expansive we really would be grateful to anyone who can make a donation, no matter what the size.

Thanks again to all contributors for your support, and thanks also to those who contributed in other ways by attending conferences, serving on committees and donating their valuable time to help organize PSF activities.

Help Migrating to Python 3.0

To assist those wanting to migrate their code to Python 3.0 the developers have just announced the creation of the Python-porting mailing list. Signing up for the list is a good way to tap in to the advice of the core developers, so it's probably a good list even if you only want to lurk to begin with.

Remember that it may take a while for all your project's dependencies to migrate to the new environment, but it's available now, so fill your boots!
