Supporting Django and Rest Framework
We get a lot of value from Django and Rest Framework, both of which are freely-licensed and volunteer-supported. I think it would be good to financially support the projects, at $X per year and $Y per month, respectively.
Details:
Django has a fellowship which funds a full-time developer to shepherd the contribution and release process. This has had a large impact on the project, making releases more reliable and widening the pool of contribution: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jan/21/django-fellowship-retrospective/
Rest Framework is largely the work of a single core contributor, Tom Christie, who quit his job some time back in order to try to make DRF into financial break-even for himself.
Details on sponsorship for both projects are here:
https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/
https://fund.django-rest-framework.org/topics/funding/
But the short version is that both take monthly donations, and Django also accepts annual donations.
Django offers logo placement for annual $1000 (better positioning at $2000), and DRF offers logo placement at $50/month with better placement at 150 and 400 / month. (150 and up gets priority tech support, as well.)
