Carpe Diem
on the conference registration page ( LINK ) it looks like the conference is running a fundraising dinner for a nonprofit group that offers colocation and hosting for non-profits LINK called the California Community Colocation Project. From their site: We provide free colocated Internet access to individuals and non-profits. ... and it looks like they operate solely on donations to keep them going!
Wow. Talk about a good cause.
