         | programmer turn into such an organization which asks very
         | different things from you?

           | It has certainly been a wild ride. Running an organization is
           | certainly a different skill set. I've learned that I'm pretty
           | good at that side too, but it drains me in a way that
           | programming does not. Bevy's success has definitely been a
           | mixed bag for me. It has been extremely fulfilling and a
           | dream come true. But things were also much simpler, calmer,
           | and pleasant when I was building Bevy alone incognito.

         | The (non-game) things that I do would be infinitely more
         | painful without Bevy ECS, so I sponsored personally at Diamond
         | for now.
         | 
         | Very excited for relations and I'm hoping that the Bevy
         | Foundation can attract the support it's looking for (and I'll
         | switch over to corporate in a few months if things don't go
         | unexpectedly sideways with my company). :)

       | Hi! I'm the fabled "project manager" that we'd like to hire!
       | Helping run Bevy has been an incredible experience, and I'm very
       | excited about the idea of being able to do this full-time. There
       | are a ton of efforts I'd like to lead, and even more that I'd
       | like to be able to help nudge along.

         | That said, the Zig Foundation got status in 2020, and the
         | Amethyst Foundation (another Rust gamedev group) also got
         | status recently, so we figured it was worth it to apply since
         | we really do feel like it's the best-fitting designation for
         | how we want to run things and what we want to do.
