I just started watching videos from this year's PyCon Australia [0]. Russell Keith-Magee, a core Django developer, gave an interesting talk called "Money, Money, Money - Writing software in a rich (wo)man's world" [1].

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're curious about how funding impacts the quality of open source projects, you might want to check out Russell's talk.
