Non-profit github account

[Tobias Diez]

Github provides a free teams account for (registered) non-profit orgs. There is not a huge difference between the free and the teams account (see https://github.com/pricing), especially if we don't use private repos. However, prebuilds for Github Codespaces can only be enabled for orgs on the Teams plan and this is a nice feature as it would allow people to start developing sage in a matter of seconds without setting up a local environment.

For this reason, I wanted to ask if someone could start the application for the non-profit Teams plan at https://support.github.com/contact/nonprofit. My understanding is that SageMath is not an officially registered non-profit org, so this application might not be successful. But at https://socialimpact.github.com/ one finds "Not a nonprofit? Submit a request for your social good project, and we’ll let you know if you qualify for a discount." so there is still hope (we are a social good project, right? ;-) ). I can also the application, but maybe someone with a deeper understanding of the official status of the sagemath org can provide more details.

We should just set up a proper non-profit org for Sage. The cheapest
option would be an Estonian non-profit,
for this we would need 2 persons who are Estonian e-residents (or
proper citizens/residents). I'm an Estonian e-resident,
so we'd need one more. After that, it's some (e-)paperwork, and 20 EUR to pay.
(and then every year submit a report etc)

Please contact me off-list if you like to help with this.
