Hi all, I came in a discussion with a core member of another OpenSource community (Plone) across the topic of collecting money for members that want to attend at a Conference or a Sprint (we call that Hackfest) and give there a presentation or work with others on a topic. She told me that the member runs a ChipIn then and regularly get the needed travel expenses. Yesterday I read about such a sucessfull chipin. A member want to attend the Plone conference in San Francisco and give a presentation: http://www.martinaspeli.net/articles/plone-the-generous-community and the site to collect money for this travel: http://frapell.chipin.com/go-to-ploneconf You could read about the idea and conditions at: http://frapell.chipin.com/go-to-ploneconf
sorry: wrong URL: use this: http://chipin.com
Maybe this could be a way to get more member / contributors from outside Europe to our next conference and give a presentation there or participate in the event (or if Europeans want to participate in an event or LibreOffice conference / Hackfest outside Europe). Opinions? Regards, Andreas
