I'm reaching out to my friends. Black Python Devs is looking for some companies to be our corporate sponsors to help us pay for software and travel to events.

This will allow us to support more events in person while not funding that travel from individual donors.

This is still cool though. Also if the actors want to join the discord... I'm just saying we'd let them in.

maybe our imposters can chat with each other on X then...
