Headcount for YAPC::NA

Hi all!

As per my last post we are going to be flying out some contributors to YAPC::NA 2013 in Austin, TX.

For this post, I'm trying to get a headcount. If you:

  • Can commit to being able to travel to Austin, TX from June 3-5, 2013 (time available!)
  • Are a recently active contributor for Dreamwidth (have submitted patches in the last year or so, but this is fuzzy)
  • Are interested in joining us for the conference (lots of face-time and hack-time!)

If those describe you, then please comment here or send me an email (mark@ this domain). Our travel budget is decently sized and we will be working to make it possible for the maximum number of attendees to get out to Austin!

So! Let me summarize:

If you are a Dreamwidth contributor and you think it'd be fun and interesting to spend a few days to a week hanging out with Dreamwidth staff and going to YAPC::NA in Austin, TX to network and learn a bunch, then you are invited. Please speak up and talk to me. :)

I'm interested! (But I need to get my act together and actually get some code patches in... <_<;)

I may or may not be able to get work to chip in for travel, but I'm sure they'll be willing to give me the time.

okay I was waffling because I'm not sure where I will be come June (hahahaha sob), but I'm like... 90% sure I can commit the time and I am ALL OVER THE REST OF THIS. If it is available still.

I'm going to register a cautious interest. It'll depend a bit on how the travel stipend works out since the plane fare is going to be around £600 and though I can cover some of that, I can't really justify covering all of it on top of spending a week away.
