Conferences, even when they are not #PayToSpeak, do this so wrong. 1300 euros out of pocket to get back in 6 months is a no go for a single parent of two, and is equally bad for two person families where each makes half of what I make. We have structural issues that make conference speaking inaccessible to many.
For #SeleniumConf we had @conservancy totally getting this and booking flights in pair booking calls with speaker to avoid the out of pocket impact.

US donors, tomorrow is the last day for tax deductible donations during this tax year!
And whether you contribute financially to SFC or give your time to #softwarefreedom, we so appreciate you and can't wait to work together in 2023!
@conservancy is a great organization and are still collecting donations against a donation match goal. If you care about free and open source software, and are able to, please donate.
https://sfconservancy.org/ has instructions.
Attended the @conservancy update and Q&A with Karen Sandler and Bradley Kuhn - it was a fantastic opportunity to learn about the amazing work they've been doing over the past year and their exciting plans for the future. If you're a fan of software freedom, I highly encourage you to support this amazing organization! https://sfconservancy.org/ #SoftwareFreedom
As the end of the year approaches: The Software Freedom Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations to the @conservancy are tax-deductible in the US: https://sfconservancy.org/ #SoftwareFreedom
If you don't use Amazon Smile, you should.
I shop a lot on Amazon and it costs me nothing to send a donation through the program to @conservancy
It adds up after awhile.
