This whole thread is brought to you by my seeing if I _could_ buy a virtual ticket to #PyCon and discovering there was no option to do so.

The #PSF is already paying for the AV team and the internet, and I have to imagine the additional cost for simulcasting would be covered by the folks who would pay for a virtual ticket.

👏🏾 A massive round of applause to our sponsor, Python Software Foundation (PSF), for their incredible support of the #Python community🐍

As part of the PSF Fiscal Sponsorship program, their generosity helps make #PyCascades possible, and we’re deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment to our community.

Thank you for empowering us to thrive and grow! 🎉

@mariatta these things are one of the main roles of "Pythonbrasil" - the Brazilian org equivalent to the #PSF - it takes a 10% of any donations, and that is enough to cover operational costs, and then it works as an Umbrella org through which the money for most Python events in Brazil goes through.

I've even used Pythonbrasil to fill this role when organizing the non-directly-related to #Python #Libregraphicsmeeting in 2017

Also, the page says "once on the PayPal site click the link Don't have a PayPal account?. A PayPal account is not required."

This is not true, a paypal account is apparently now REQUIRED. If you click on "Don't have a PayPal account" and fill in the payment information, it only allows you to complete the transaction by creating a paypal account.

I've thought for a few years that there's more friction than necessary becoming a PSF member...more stress than expected, I'll send a check. #psf
