But given that there seem to be few or no strings attached to it other than making Sage play more nicely with other mathematical OSS, I guess people are allowed to be thankful? I'm thankful that people who really know how to code well will be able to do those things. If I understand correctly, ODK is way bigger than Sage, also, so I'm thankful that GAP and other programs that provide much of the most technical mathematical functionality in many areas of Sage will be able to get better and work better together with Sage. It is unfortunate that there aren't other funding sources as well, but as we have seen that is just the state of things.
Along those lines, whenever William is able to come up for air from SMC (perhaps the new year?) it would be useful to revive the discussion of a true SageMath Foundation, separate from SMCI of course, whether incorporated in the US or Europe (or elsewhere), but it sounds like there wasn't currently enough interest in helping with the substantial paperwork involved in this as of yet. But if this existed it might help support some of the other Sage infrastructure needs, beyond the *.math.washington.edu resources this thread was supposed to be about :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
