We are pleased to announce the permanent #BSDCan Mike Karels Travel Fund grant which for 2026 will be three $500 USD grants to people who need a little help attending. Anyone can apply but we specifically welcome members of any under-represented groups.

We are also pleased to announce that we received and accepted three travel accommodation grants today!

If it's not obvious, we REALLY want to enable first-time and under-represented attendees.

It's that time of the year when Ottawa is hotter than here.
Last year, at BSDCan, the weather was perfect.
I'm still sad that I can't make it this year, but there's always next year.
If you can, go. You won't regret it!
