[sudo-discuss] Fwd: Are you ready to meld with some open (and free) minds?

Tue Oct 15 13:22:09 PDT 2013

Hey all,

Aspiration Tech is an excellent group of folks. Please consider joining for
this excellent event. There is a cost, based roughly on the order of your
non-profit's budget, or an "offer a price" option as a sliding scale
component. As detailed in the message below, they're also looking for
places for attendees to crash in Oakland! I am planning to do so, I hope
others can as well.

Donate Your Expiring Miles

The most critical part of the Dev Summit is getting the right people there.

summit strives to serve the entire spectrum of folks invested in technology
for social justice.

We are working hard to get everyone there who wants to be there. We could
use your help to make sure all voices are represented. Do you have unused
or expiring airline miles you would be willing to give?

miles<devsummit13 at aspirationtech.org?Subject=Airline+mile+donation>to
make the Dev Summit a richer, more inclusive experience.
