As an interested bystander, I fully support you getting grant money to help get an official Python 3 compatible Pillow release out the door! |

Piillow and PIL are a critical part of python 3 adoption. Its a blocked as much ad or more so than Django. Ask for the money. |

We would definitely be interested in seeing Pillow developed. So, +1 from our side for this to be funded. |

The lack of PIL (Pillow) on Python 3 is a major reasons several larger scale projects cannot be ported yet. Very simple example: We use Dozer with some additions to analyze/profile our WSGI app, but without Pillow on Python 3, Dozer does not work. |

I would take an hour or two as compensation, as a student I'm always in need of money but I don't really care. I didn't fix it in my free time. (If you need a proper number to tell them, I'm at 20-30 hours slowly figuring out how various thing works in PIL and how to fix them) |

@d-schmidt Thanks for the comment and your contributions! OK so if I understand you correctly you have spent at least 20-30 hours and are asking for 1-2 hours of compensation? Are you in the USA or elsewhere? |

Germany. And yes, 30h * 50$? That would be a crazy amount of money. I wouldn't deny it, but a week of food would be awesome enough. It is voluntary all along and I've need the patches myself. :) |

Let me see what I can do. I don't feel comfortable asking for 30h on your behalf, but I can ask for 1-2 hours @ $50 USD. I'm asking for something like 24 hours @ $50, which is only a small fraction of the total time I have invested and includes only the estimated time I need to finish preparing the next release. You can always ask the PSF for additional funding, though: http://www.python.org/psf/grants/. Assuming you are OK with all of this, we could theoretically PayPal you the $$$ once we receive a check from the PSF (in the event our funding request is approved, of course). |

@d-schmidt Resolved by the PSF board in our favor! I just invoiced the PSF, so as soon as we receive the check I'll PayPal you $100 USD. Thanks for helping with Pillow. |

👍 on getting compensated for your great work, guys. Having an imaging lib for py3 must really help the adoption. I know it does for me :) |

Hey @d-schmidt can you email me (aclark@aclark.net) with your preferred PayPal email address? Will send payment this week sometime. |

In order to find some time to finish reviewing and releasing Pillow for Python 3, I'm considering asking the PSF for some grant money to fund my development time. But I want to "do it right" so I'm asking for feedback here. E.g. @fluggo if the PSF approves my request can I forward some of the $$$ to you since you did the majority of the coding? If so, can you estimate how much time you put in, and also specify a conservative hourly rate estimate? E.g. "$50/hour". Would anyone else like to be compensated based on their contributions and pending a grant award from the PSF? Ready… go!
