I am 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.

I am 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.
