Donating and Travel

So, I've finally decided to enable donations on SourceForge for my projects, and myself. I've noticed several people have also searched specifically for Beef, Stopwatch, and a few other projects I blogged about, to get to my site. I would love to work on these projects more, but time and money just do not allow that right now, so I've set up these donation methods to allow others who want to see these projects get finished up as much as I do, to help with that by providing a little monetary support, as well. Believe it or not, it can be a bit difficult to work on open source projects without being able to pay for internet access, electricity, or a place to live. I also made up a quick little tango styled donation button to use on my sites for this:

On another note, the Boston Summit, and Speck Hack Fest are both coming up soon. If you haven't booked your trip for either of these yet, please check out Skyhopper Travel, where you might save some money on your trip. You can also check out the Deals page if you are in the US, for possibly very cheap weekend trips during the summit. You might have to wait another week or two for dates during the summit weekend, but in general a 2-night, 3-day weekend in Boston, including hotel and flight from Washington, DC, starts at around $200 round trip. Most of you will probably be spending more than that on just the hotel alone.

So, save a few dollars, help your fellow hackers make it to an event or two, and let's all make GNOME kick ass together.
