BSD Fund😳❤️🤔❤️😎
They do not appear to have sent an “open box” cameras at a discount.
IT APPEARS TO BE FACTORY SEALED at a discounted price.
FOR THE WIN.
Thank you everyone who has helped make this possible with your generosity!
Michael DexterHaven’t been to a conference since lockdown?
Think of the thousands you’ve saved!
Please consider donating some of that savings to efforts to stream events!
Notably the #BSDCons A/V team for which I’ve around $3000 for equipment for @EuroBSDCon that will be used at future events.
I hope you’re not thinking… “Why give to the #BSDCons A/V team if I’m not going to @EuroBSDCon?”
That’s EXACTLY WHY to give: the streams and recordings allow you to enjoy the content AT NO COST.
That’s a pretty fair trade, no?
Please consider a donation. Another set of speaker and audience mics pushed the cost up by $300.
The #BSDCons have a tradition of reimbursing presenters for travel and accommodations.
Please DM if this policy and process has ever failed you.
Oh look! My favorite Mastodon host is back online!
That's reason to say Hey! The @bsdcan planning team has some amazing sponsors lined up but we'd appreciate another Bronze or two, and would flip for another Silver.
The schedule is awesome and I hope to see you there.
Could you please nudge your team about a sponsorship?
Thank you!
Please RT!
(I love how that out-lasted its origin)

The holidays and reëntry are over.
You survived!
It's time.
I sincerely ask you to invite your employer to become a @bsdcan sponsor.
If they use the Internet, they've benefitted from this amazing gathering of technology architects.
If they operate on this space, they already know the value of it.
Disable say... OpenSSH until they sponsor! (Wait. Don't do that.)
I am reaching out to past sponsors but the #BSDCons deserve a robust and diverse funding stream.
If you are of the means, please consider an individual donation, especially if BSDCan has enabled your employment. I have put in $504 to date (had to reach $2024 for 2024 in 2023!).
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
