To donate some talent to the Python Community. I missed HR (Hiring, Contracts, Benefits) on the list above. That may be because I, too, like to do coding most of the time, too. Buy say I'm a person who's looking to take some time off and do a tour with PSF; sort of like 18F, Defense Digital Service, US Digital Services (USDS); with talent from industry contributing their time in more of a startup / intrapreneurial environment. Pitch me. What do I do for healthcare, with my retirement savings 401(k) and/or IRA Independent Retirement Account? Do I even need to roll anything over to come help out full time for a few years? I can read the Contributing section of the Devguide, https://devguide.python.org/#contributing And learn about the systems that power the Python community software development workflows (including the cool git repo bots), but when I consider donating money, how can we upsell me to considering doing a tour with PSF? Maybe I want to: - buy a shirt, a hat, - send a cash money donation (and get my tax receipt) https://www.python.org/psf/donations/ - donate corporate resources https://www.python.org/psf/sponsorship/ #sponsorship-levels - pay developers with healthcare and give them some time - decide when in my career would be a good time to consider PSF Membership and Fellowship ... There are a number of online payroll, contracts, and benefits management solutions.
