Thanks to everybody who donated. We've indeed reached our goal, and I will be going to the conference. You rock!
What a great opportunity for you. Have a blast! Are you planning on writing up a trip report on your blog?
I most certainly will. :D
I'm all for this, but "legal and liability reasons" do not require an escort for a 16-year-old on a plane trip across the country.
Well, maybe not, but I wouldn't ask him to travel alone, anyway – if anything unfortunate happened, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. In any case, I've never done anything like this before, so I was trying to be careful. Of course, IANAL.
Whoa...oh, sorry.
I donated. I too am a native Alabamian. Go Rayne!
Well that was fast! It would seem the goal has already been met. Nothing more impressive than a strong community.
I don't use clojure, but this seems totally solid to me. I sent in a small donation because it seems like such a good idea.
It's very appreciated. Thank you very much.
Thank you to everyone who donated, and thank you again to Relevance for covering Raynes' lodging and conference admission.
