A couple weeks ago I gave a talk at @djangocon about the finances of the Django Software Foundation. I wanted to give folks a high-level understanding of our current financial situation, and then imagine a world where we had a substantially-larger budget.

Here's a written version of this talk, with annotated slides, and expanded notes:

@jacob This is really interesting. Do you know the name of the plot for the budget visualization? I'd like to make a similar one; doesn't look hard to draw but maybe there are tools?

@federicomena it’s called a “Sankey chart”. I used sankeymatic.com/, exported to SVG and edited by hand (colors, fonts) in Inkscape.

@jacob This is a great (and aesthetically pleasing!) walk through of the practicalities of OSS fundraising! Wow!
