To encourage contributions, Jacob Kaplan-Moss [2], Alex Gaynor [3], and Carl Meyer [4] are matching donations for a total of $15,000. I am also participating (blog post [5]) - I will donate $500 if 5 people donate (any amount!) and send me a screenshot of it. If you're curious as to *why* donate, I encourage you to read my [5], Jacob's [6], Alex's [7], Carl's [8], and Guido van Rossum's [0] posts! Feel free to tweet and pass along. Thanks all!
