I just started watching videos from this year&#x27;s PyCon Australia [0]. Russell Keith-Magee, a core Django developer, gave an interesting talk called &quot;Money, Money, Money - Writing software in a rich (wo)man&#x27;s world&quot; [1].<p>I love open source software, and I want to see more high-quality open source. I want to see established projects like Django continue to thrive. If you&#x27;re curious about how funding impacts the quality of open source projects, you might want to check out Russell&#x27;s talk.<p>[0] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLs4CJRBY5F1KMMpoEWMuBRvHvjBJeAJoS" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLs4CJRBY5F1KMMpoEWMuB...</a><p>[1] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=mY8B2lXIu6g&amp;list=PLs4CJRBY5F1KMMpoEWMuBRvHvjBJeAJoS&amp;index=51" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=mY8B2lXIu6g&amp;list=PLs4CJRBY5F...</a>
