- <p>Heya all! We've got an exciting announcement to make this
- morning! We got a generous promotion/sponsorship from the
- <a href="http://www.python.org/psf/">Python Software Foundation</a>...
- the next 25 people who donate $200.00 or more will get a chance to get
- free tickets to <a href="http://us.pycon.org/">PyCon US</a>!
- </p>
- <p>If you're into programming, and especially Python, PyCon is a
- conference that's not to be missed. I can say from experience: I've
- attended every US PyCon since 2008, and it is honestly the highest
- quality programming-oriented conference I've ever gone to. (I've even
- <a href="http://pyvideo.org/video/411/pycon-2011--using-blender--39-s-new-bpy-python-ap">spoken
- there before</a> and Deb, Will and I ran
- a <a href="http://pyvideo.org/video/725/40-media-goblin-the-road-to-federation">poster
- session on PyCon</a> in the past as well!) And this is a great deal:
- the individual rate for PyCon is $350 at regular rate, and $300 at
- early bird rate. Given that we're giving out two tickets to 25
- people, that's a 1 in 12.5 chance you'll be chosen. Those are good
- odds!</p>
- <p>And of course, either way you're already helping out a good cause
- by donating to MediaGoblin. You're helping the dream of decentralized
- media publishing come true. And, as it turns out, you're helping
- prove that Python web applications can help save the world. What more
- could you ask for?</p>
- <p>Well, you could maybe ask for more rewards... at $200 you've
- already passed the $100 level:</p>

- alt="Shert rewards" /></a>
- </p>
- <p>That means that in addition to a chance to get a free trip to
- PyCon, you already get a t-shirt, a postcard, a sponsored commit, a
- virtual hug, and stickers! But if you're really generous, you could
- go up just $150 more:</p>
- <p class="centered">
- <a href="/pages/campaign.html"
- ><img src="/blog_images/campaign_plain_goblin_icon-enlarged.png"
- alt="Figurine rewards" /></a>
- </p>
- <p>At that point you get a 3d printed figurine of our mascot,
- Gavroche... plus a t-shirt, a postcard, a sponsored commit, a virtual
- hug, stickers... and of course your chance at a ticket to PyCon!</p>
- <p>So what are you waiting for?
- <a href="/pages/campaign.html">Support MediaGoblin</a> and help
- make the future of free and open source, python-based, decentralized
- media hosting come true... and get a chance to go to the world's
- greatest programming conference in the process!</p>
