Back in January we announced that urllib3 would be fundraising to implement support for HTTP/2 in a backwards compatible way to urllib3 v2.x and to ensure the project's development remains sustainable in the long-term.
Microsoft has awarded urllib3 $5,000 USD as one of its FOSS Fund recipients for 2024 🥳 Thank you, Microsoft for supporting open source software!
Since announcing our fundraiser we have raised $7,275 USD in 3 months, many of the donations coming from individuals and long-time sponsors like Sourcegraph and Sentry.
Thanks Microsoft! ❤️
