So,@Deb, what do you think you have control over? In your budget, I mean? Expenditures maybe?

Like, maybe, staff costs, or how much you spend on pycon US every year? Is that something you have control over, or is this also a function of “community enthusiasm” that is impossible to rein in? Just asking politely here.

Maybe a list of the companies or persons that received funds for pycon 2024 and pycon 2025, and for what, might be helpful to “improve the long-term health of the program”, as you say.
